RECREATION POLICIES & GUIDELINES

Please review the following, most frequently accessed policy and guideline information.

For assistance or clarification email Recreation@WylieTexas.gov.

ACTIVITY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE So you tried Macramé Comeback and it just wasn’t for you. A full refund is available through the first day of most contracted courses. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of a registered activity, please contact a staff person immediately so we may have an opportunity to solve the problem.

DON’T MISS A THING! Activity registrations are available on a first-come, first-served basis with full payment. Register early and guarantee your spot before maximum enrollment is met. Full payment and waiver are required prior to participation. Allow time for your front desk registration or skip the line and register online.

Activities cancel several days out if minimum enrollment is unmet. Register early and encourage friends to do the same.

Registering “in bulk” is encouraged as a timesaver. Full refunds are available for most multi-day activities through the first meeting date. Review full withdraw and refund policies prior to registration.

ANYTIME ACTIVITY REGISTRATION Register online with a credit card for most activities at https://apm.activecommunities.com/wylie. Some exclusions apply.

The waitlist does not guarantee your spot nor serve as registration.

ACTIVITY CANCELLATIONS Encourage friends to register with you and register early. An instructor may require a minimum number of participants before offering an activity. A decision about whether or not to cancel an activity is typically made the Friday before an activity starts. Please maintain current contact information with us. Registrants are notified by phone.
