NON-DISCRIMINATION:
The Community Park District is an Equal Opportunity Employer and
does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national
origin, sex, disability or age in the course of offering and
administering any of its recreation programs, services, park
areas, and facilities.
A Note to Parent or Guardian
When present in the classroom with the assigned teacher, children
are under the
instructor’s
supervision. In all cases, it is understood that children
eight years and older are responsible for their own behavior and
whereabouts while they are at a program site. Parents
should establish and discuss with their children both drop-off
and pick-up arrangements, and guidelines relative to expectations
of on-site conduct.
Code of Conduct
To ensure an enjoyable and safe program for all participants, the
Community Park District has developed a behavioral code of
conduct.
Participant must:
- Show respect to all participants and staff
- Refrain from using foul language
- Refrain from causing bodily harm
- Treat equipment, supplies and facilities with respect
Temporary removal or permanent
suspension from the program and/or facility may result if
behavioral standards are not maintained.
Non-Resident Policy
Non-resident enrollment into any Community Park District program
is gladly accepted. Please make note of the following:
- Non-residents will pay no more than $10.00 additional for a
program, or 50% of the program fee, whichever is the lesser
amount (unless otherwise noted).
- Non-resident registration begins one week after resident
registration (based on availability).
- Residents on a waiting list are given first priority when an
enrollment becomes available.

Pets in the Park Policy
Animals - No person shall bring any animal in or upon any CPD property without first obtaining a
permit from the CPD, unless enrolled in a park district sponsored dog training program. Service animals are excluded from this policy
We have seen a significant increase in people bringing dogs into park tennis courts. This is in direct violation of park district policy.
**Dog waste in these courts is not only a public health issue, it is damaging to the courts-especially the courts at Stone Monroe Park, as they are covered in artificial turf.**
1. Dogs are strictly prohibited from all CPD events, except for special events where animals are part of the event with prior CPD approval; from all athletic fields, all tennis courts, all basketball courts; all playgrounds; and parks, except those designated as “Dog Friendly”.
2. CPD “Dog Friendly Parks” are defined as:
A. Memorial Park
B. Hanesworth Park
C. Robinhood Park
D. Stone Monroe Park
3. No person owning or keeping a dog shall allow such dog to run freely in any park, including “Dog Friendly Parks.”
4. Dogs must be securely fastened and restrained by a leash not more than six feet in length at all times.
5. Dog licenses and proof of vaccinations must be displayed on the dog’s collar.
6. No person owning or keeping a dog shall allow such dog to enter upon or remain upon any area of the park utilized as an athletic field, court, children’s play area, or posted to prohibit dogs.
7. Owners or keepers of dogs shall carry appropriate equipment to and shall immediately clean the dog’s waste and deposit the waste in an appropriate waste receptacle.
8. Aggressive or nuisance animals are prohibited from all parks.
