GENERAL INFORMATION REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Registration for most City of Chamblee Parks and Recreation (CPRD) activities can be made on chambleerec.com. Users will need to make a free account, add any family members and select the program of their choosing. The activity will be reflected in the cart, which can then be paid for via credit card online. The Parks and Recreation Department also accepts cash, checks and money orders as payment for registrations in person or via mail.

CPRD also partners with many organizations to provide a variety of programs and athletics. At times, users will be redirected to the partnering organization’s website to register.

REFUND POLICY It is the policy of the City of Chamblee Parks and Recreation Department to provide high quality opportunities to youth in the community and to accommodate the maximum number of participants allowed in these programs. To accomplish this, parks and recreation staff require sufficient time to notify people on the waiting list of any programs to allow them ample time to attend and to complete required paper work. If for any reason your child does not attend the program as registered, please let our office know as soon as possible so we can fill the opening.

Therefore, any participant may receive a 100% refund of their registration fee if the refund is requested at least TWO WEEKS (10 working days) prior to the first day of a scheduled program or activity. If less than two weeks and two business days prior to start of the program, only a 50% refund will be issued. No refund will be issued after 10 am two business days prior to the start of the program. Full refund or credit will be granted if the program is canceled by the Department. No refund will be given for a child who is suspended or expelled.

Refunds will be issued on chambleerec.com as either a credit card reimbursement, account credit or check.

Parks and Recreation staff reserves the right to modify refund policies for family emergency situations that cause a cancellation after the deadlines above or for children dismissed from the program due to behavior or other extenuating circumstances.

RAC members also serve as first-string volunteers when planning and implementing community events. Each RAC member serves a two-year term that is eligible to be renewed at the end of two years if there are not others waiting to join the committee.
