OUR CODE

The Decatur Park District does not discriminate against individuals in admission to, or treatment of, or employment in programs or activities in compliance with the Illinois Human Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended and the U.S. Constitution. The Park District receives Federal funds from the National Park Service. Regulations of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior strictly prohibit unlawful discrimination in departmental Federally Assisted Programs on the basis of race, color, national origin, age or handicap. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any program, activity, or facility operated by the Decatur Park District may contact the Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Equal Opportunity Officer (217/422-5911) and the U.S. Department of the Interior at: Director, Equal Opportunity Program, U.S. Dept. of the Interior, National Park Service, P.O. Box 37127, Washington, D.C. 20013-7127.

We Care about Your Safety The Decatur Park District cares about the safety of our visitors and strives to ensure that playground equipment, park grounds and facilities remain in excellent condition. Please help us in this effort! Follow posted safety rules and note age designations for appropriate use of playground equipment. Insurance While the Park District is committed to conducting recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, an inherent risk of injury exists with any recreational activity. The Decatur Park District does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained on its property or in its programs, as the cost of such insurance would make program fees cost-prohibitive. ADA Accessibility Survey The 6-volume ADA Accessibility document completed by Recreation Accessibility Consultants may be viewed at the Administrative Office, 620 E. Riverside Ave. For more information, contact Mandy Childress at 422-5911.

Advertising & Sponsorship Park Watch Program The Decatur Park District’s Park Watch program helps prevent crimes in our parks, properties and facilities. Park Watch offers rewards for information leading to the arrest of individuals responsible for these crimes. Please be on the look-out. Park District property belongs to all in our community and is supported by tax dollars. If you witness suspicious activity or have a tip, call Park Watch at 422-5911. You may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000. All tips and information are helpful, and you may remain anonymous.

Decatur residents make contributions to the operation of the agency through their property taxes. If you live within Decatur Park District boundaries, you benefit from “resident” rates. To receive this rate, you will need to provide proof of residency the first time you register. Proof will not be required again, unless your address changes. Acceptable forms of proof include a valid driver’s license or current electric, gas, or water bill. Online Online registration for most Park District classes and activities is available! To begin the online registration process and set up your household account, create an account at decatur-parks.org, visit the DISC in person, or call 429-3472.
