Park District Information Am I a Resident or Non-Resident of the Park District of Franklin Park?

You are a Resident of the Park District if you live within Park District boundaries (that is, in Franklin Park, north of Grand Avenue). You are a Non-Resident if you reside outside that area. All are welcome to participate in our programs; however, Non-Residents are sometimes charged a slightly higher fee. In this brochure, “R” indicates a Resident fee, while “NR” indicates a Non-Resident fee.

Resident Pass Park District Residents are required to get a Resident Pass to receive discounted rates on programs, events, passes and rentals. To get your pass, bring a valid driver’s license or state ID and a current property tax or utility bill showing your name and address to the Community Center. Children must also obtain a pass. Parents/guardians must provide a copy of each child’s birth certificate or guardian papers.

The pass serves as proof of residency and is good for one year.

Replacement passes are $6.

Code of Conduct/ Participant Guidelines Equal Access

No participant shall, on the basis of race, sex, creed, national origin or disability, be denied equal access to programs, activities, services or benefits, or be limited in the exercise of any right, privilege, advantage or opportunity.

Behavior

Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times.

The following guidelines have been developed to make Park District programs safe and enjoyable for all participants. Additional rules may be developed for particular programs and athletic leagues as deemed necessary by staff. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff • Refrain from using foul language • Refrain from causing bodily harm to other participants and staff • Show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities A positive approach will be used regarding discipline. The Park District of Franklin Park reserves the right to dismiss a participant. Each situation will be evaluated on its own merit.

Youth Participation Guidelines

From time to time, the Park District has had the challenge of dealing with children registered for Park District programs whose excitement level and enthusiasm were beyond the capabilities of our staff. In the event that such a child is involved in any of these programs, the staff will notify the child’s parents that they are not capable of adequately supervising such a child. The Park District will gladly refund the pro-rated portion of any fees. The Park District has made every effort to hire capable staff for all programs, but there are occasions when, for the good of the entire program, the Park District must insist that parents remove unmanageable children from the program.

Your cooperation as a parent will be greatly appreciated, and your understanding will allow the Park District of Franklin Park to better serve all youth.

With your child’s best interest in mind, we ask that parents do not remain in class, or bring other children into class during any of our youth programs, unless specifically approved by the instructor. This may interrupt the participant’s attention and inhibit the establishment of peer relationships. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Vipers Baseball and Softball District of Franklin Park for over twenty years. The Franklin Park Vipers are also a proud affiliate of Leyden High School.

Clinics and practices focus on ensuring that players are well versed in fundamental skills of the sport.

Experienced players are trained to enhance their pitching, hitting and game knowledge while newer players can focus on fundamentals. Indoor clinics and practices start after registration and will continue until the weather permits us to practice outside (April 1st).

Our season runs from mid-April to the end of June, consisting of 16-24 games. In addition to the regular season, we have participated in Sunday leagues, summer tournaments, Fall Ball and winter training.
