About

Residency can be established at the Lakeland Center, 925 S. Giant City Rd. The Resident fee is determined by your home address and whether or not you reside within the Carbondale Park District taxing area. You must reside (live) within the Carbondale City limits to receive the resident rate. Otherwise, you are considered a non-resident. To prove residency, you must present a current (unexpired) photo ID and proof of Carbondale address. Examples are a recent piece of mail addressed to you (not junk mail), a bill in your name, or your property tax bill. Residency can be established at the Lakeland Center at 925 S. Giant City Rd. On this website you will see this expressed as “R” for “Resident” and “NR” for “Non-Resident”.

Program fees are based on a minimum number of participants signing up. The minimum number of enrollees is necessary to cover the cost of offering the program. If less than the minimum number of participants required are enrolled at the registration deadline, the Carbondale Park District reserves the right to cancel that program. Those enrolled will be notified of the cancellation and will receive a full refund. The maximum number of participants is determined based on safety, facility limitations, and quality assurance.

When a program is canceled by the Carbondale Park District, for any reason, a 100% program registration fee refund will be issued to each canceled program registrant.

A 100% program registration fee refund (minus the processing fee) will be issued only if a written request for a refund is made no less than three business days prior to the start of the program. A 50% program registration fee refund will be issued only if a written request for a refund is received prior to the second scheduled meeting of the program. There will be no program registration fee refunds given after the second scheduled meeting of the program except as defined under Medical Refund Requests.

A pro-rated program registration fee refund will be issued based upon the number of sessions remaining in the program only if a written request accompanied with medical documentation has been received identifying a medical problem which prohibits the individual’s continued program participation. Such written request for a refund due to medical reasons must be received within three business days following the completion of the last scheduled meeting of the program. No refunds will be given thereafter.

The Carbondale Park District assumes no responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs or activities. It does not carry medical or loss of personal property insurance for program participants – the cost would make program fees prohibitive. It is advisable to review your own personal insurance plan to be certain that you and your family have proper coverage.
