General Info & FAQ's

In Case Of Bad Weather

Call 816-969-1516 a half hour or less before your scheduled activity to see if it has been canceled. If the activity is scheduled at an R-7 school and school was canceled during the day, so are the activities for that evening.

Program Disclaimer

LSPR reserves the right to cancel, combine or divide classes. There may be a need to change dates, times, locations, instructors, fees or program outline revisions of any program offerings. We will give as much notice as possible for changes made.

Lspr Program Refund Policy

Satisfaction Guaranteed* In the case of a schedule conflict or inability to attend a program, a refund will be issued to the participant in the amount based on the following parameters: Prior to the deadline of the program a 100% refund of the fees will be returned. After the registration deadline, 90% of the fee paid will be returned. After the start of the program, 75% of the fees paid will be returned. Administrative fees withheld from team leagues may vary depending on time of withdrawal and schedule release. The amount withheld will be approved by LSPR’s Administrator. As per LSPR’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed practice, if a participant is not satisfied with the services provided by LSPR, the following options may be followed: 1. Receive a full refund. 2. Repeat the activity at no charge. 3. Receive a full credit that may be applied to any departmental activity. In order to receive a full refund, the participant may need to meet with the program supervisor. Refund checks or credits to credit cards will be processed within 14 business days. We are unable to refund Camp Summit enrollment fees, and activities/ tickets that are provided by another organization or business.

*We are unable to refund activities provided by other organizations or businesses (i.e., theme park tickets, etc.).

24 Hour Cancellation Policy

A 24 hour notice of cancellation or change in contracted services, like massage therapy, personal training and private swim lessons, is required. If an appointment is canceled or changed within less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, a refund will NOT be processed. In the event of a cancellation by the contractor prior to the 24 hour notice, the appointment may be rescheduled or refunded. In the event of a cancellation by the contractor less than 24 hours of the scheduled appointment, you may reschedule your appointment and will receive an additional 15 minutes of service at no charge.

NRPA Gold Medal

The Gold Medal Award honors communities throughout the United States that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, resource management and innovative approaches to delivering superb park and recreation services with fiscally sound business practices. Only two other Missouri cities have achieved this recognition—Columbia and Springfield.

CAPRA Accredited

The Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) administers a rigorous program based on self-assessment and peer review using national standards of best practice to better promote the quality of agency services and delivery systems. LSPR was initially accredited in 2003, re-accredited in 2008, again in 2013, and in 2018. Only four Missouri agencies have achieved this standard of compliance (Chesterfield, Kansas City, Lee's Summit, and SpringfieldGreen County), and 193 nationally.

Financial Assistance

In order for LSPR to ensure all residents have an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the many programs offered, a special work program has been developed. The Work Program offers a trade in service hours to the department for financial assistance to participate in programs and activities. If circumstances prevent a patron from participating in the Work Program, a request can be made to utilize funding from the Angel Program, which is made possible through private donations and grants. Call 816-969-1500 or visit any of our locations for more information.

Inclusive Statement

LSPR provides recreation programs which are open to all residents in the city and seeks and supports participation by all citizens with a variety of interests and abilities. If you or a family member needs accommodations or support to participate in LSPR programs, please contact us during the enrollment process.

WHY KEY FOBS?

For your convenience! The Key FOB is easy to carry with you, as it slides onto your key ring. In addition, the Key FOB allows LSPR to better track attendance, to know who is using the facilities and saves time when registering for programs or swiping in at facilities. Stop by anytime to pick up your free Key FOB at any of our facilities so you can start carrying your Key to Fun! Replacement FOBs are $1.

SAY “CHEESE!”

LSPR staff may take photos of activities. These photos may be used in future issues of Illustrated, on the website, social media pages, brochures, articles, ads, etc. Thanks for saying cheese! Camera Policy: No person shall use a camera, cell phone, or PDA in any changing room or washroom in LSPR facilities. Please report any actions to the contrary.

Use Of Drones In Parks

The operation of radio-controlled motorized aircraft in a park within LSPR jurisdiction is not permitted without prior approval from the Lee’s Summit Parks and Recreation Department. Permission to use a radio controlled motorized aircraft may be granted on a case by case basis if request demonstrates a specific public need for the radio controlled motorized aircraft usage and does not constitute an infringement on the public’s use of the parks, a danger to patrons within the parks, or violates park user privacy. The operator of the aircraft will be expected to follow all FAA guidelines including contacting the Lee’s Summit airport. LSPR is committed to providing a safe environment for patrons who choose to enjoy the park system.
