HOW CAN I PAY FOR A MEMBERSHIP?
The Geneseo Park District offers three easy payment plan options...
1 - PAY Pay the full amount owed at time of purchase.
3 - PAY [3 Consecutive Monthly Payments] The membership rate is divided into 3 equal payments, which are paid the first three months of your membership plus a $10.00 service fee. If monthly payments are not paid by due dates, a late fee of $10.00 per month will be charged. Future memberships may not be obtained until complete balances are paid in full. Only available on annual membership purchase. The $10 service fee is reflected in the listed 3-pay price.
12 - PAY (ACH) [Monthly Payments Automatically Withdrawn from your checking account] The 12-pay (ACH) plan is the only way that the Geneseo Park District can accept monthly payments for annual Community Center or Park District membership dues. This is a continuous membership plan; memberships will automatically renew on the members’ yearly expiration date. The membership price including service fee of $2 per month, and non-resident fee when applicable, is divided by 12 to arrive at the monthly payment. An initial down payment is required at time of purchase, fulfilling the first month’s payment obligation and a $25 Activation Fee. The monthly dues will be deducted from the members bank account for a minimum of 11 consecutive months. After that time, they will automatically continue until the GPD receives request to terminate from the member. Monthly dues will be withdrawn on the 15th of the month unless the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday in which case withdrawals will be made the following business day. Click here to cancel. Cancellations may be submitted via email to the Administrative Assistant jolson@ geneseoparkdistrict.org or by visiting the Geneseo Community Center in person to complete our cancellation form. Should any membership draft not be honored by the members financial institution for any reason, the membership will be suspended. The member will be required to pay the balance due plus a $5 service fee. Balance due must be paid in full, in person, by cash or credit card. This is in addition to any service fee the financial institution may make. Monthly dues will continue to be automatically deducted from the members bank account as scheduled while the membership is suspended. Memberships will be canceled after a second consecutive insufficient funds notice is received. Memberships that are suspended and/or canceled due to delinquent payments will receive email notification from GPD. Canceled memberships are required to pay the past due amount plus service fees in full before future memberships may be purchased and are subject to the activation fee. Memberships canceled prior to meeting the first 1-year commitment will be subject to the GPD cancellation policy and required to pay ½ of the unused balance plus a $5 service fee. If a membership is canceled due to insufficient funds, future requests for payment plans will be reviewed and the Geneseo Park District reserves the right to accept or reject requests. The Geneseo Park District Board of Directors may, at their discretion, adjust the monthly rate applicable to any category of membership.
