Cancellations/Postponements of Programs Every once in a while we think we have a great program idea or an instructor has proposed a great program; but the enrollment is insufficient. Staff looks at postponing the program (time to be determined) to see if there is evidence that we think we can get the program to make through other means; and canceling as a last resort. When we cancel, we do our best to notify participants and issue a refund. Program Evaluations Program evaluations will be randomly given to participants or their parents. Evaluations are issued to gauge how programs are received, the instruction or coaching, an assessment on the registration process from the time you get registration form to making payment and our reflection on you, the facilities we use and your ideas on what we can do to better serve you whether it is in program offerings, staffing or department operations.

By mail, send your completed registration form and payment to King George County Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 71, King George, Virginia 22485. When sending by mail we encourage you to make a phone call two or three days after sending to make sure the Department received it.

As a follow-up, you may want to call about a program you registered for just prior to the scheduled beginning date. For team athletic programs, participant’s parents should call the Recreation office if you have not heard from a coach or a Recreation office staff member within a reasonable amount of time. We are attempting to get all coaches to notify their players by a specified date. This date is announced or included in our promotional flyers. If you are unsure of the date, please do not hesitate to contact our office or check on the website.
