Leisure Is For Everyone (LIFE) The Carbondale Park District will make every attempt to facilitate inclusion of individuals with special needs into all of our programs and activities. Inclusion within the Carbondale Park District means individuals with disabilities are welcome to participate in the same recreation programs and activities as their peers. Reasonable accommodations are provided to enable an individual’s successful participation in a program. If you have questions about inclusion, please call 618-549-4222 to speak with the Recreation Coordinator.

Carbondale Park District Tree Memorials The Carbondale Park District Tree Memorial Program was established by the Carbondale Park District to allow a friend or loved one to be honored and remembered in a very special way - a living, growing tree. A tree will be planted on Park District property and the family notified. A permanent record will be kept of the donor, the honoree, and the site of the planting. The Park District will maintain the trees.

Tree Memorial application forms are available at the LIFE Center. For more information, call 549-4222. A minimum donation of $100.00 is required. Gifts may also be made to the Park District’s general beautifi-cation programs.

Do I pay the Resident or Regular fee?

The Resident / Regular fee is determined by your home address and whether or not you reside within the Carbondale Park District taxing district. Carbondale Park District taxpayers receive the Resident fee rate. If you own your home, your property tax bill will reflect whether or not you pay a Carbondale Park District tax. You may have a Carbondale address but reside outside the Park District tax boundary. That is why we ask what your address is when you register.

Minimum/Maximum Participation Policy

Program fees are based on a minimum number of participants signing up. The minimum number of enrollees is necessary to cover the cost of offering the program. If less than the minimum number of participants required are enrolled at the registration deadline, the Carbondale Park District reserves the right to cancel that program. Those enrolled will be notified of the cancellation and will receive a full refund by mail. The maximum number of participants is determined based on safety, facility limitations, and quality assurance.

Program Cancellation Refund When a program is canceled by the Carbondale Park District, for any reason, a 100% program registration fee refund will be issued to each canceled program registrant.

Refund Policy A 100% program registration fee refund will be issued only if a request for a refund is made no less than three business days prior to the start of the program. A 50% program registration fee refund will be issued only if a written request for a refund is received prior to the second scheduled meeting of the program. There will be no program registration fee refunds given after the second scheduled meeting of the program except as defined under Medical Refund Requests.

Medical Refund Request A pro-rated program registration fee refund will be issued based upon the number of sessions remaining in the program only if a written request accompanied with medical documentation has been received identifying a medical problem which prohibits the individual’s continued program participation. Such written request for a refund due to medical reasons must be received within three business days following the completion of the last scheduled meeting of the program. No refunds will be given thereafter.

Insurance The Carbondale Park District assumes no responsibility for injuries or accidents occurring at programs or activities. It does not carry medical or loss of personal property insurance for program participants – the cost would make program fees prohibitive. It is advisable to review your own personal insurance plan to be certain that you and your family have proper coverage.

Community garden PlotsWould you love to plant a garden, but don’t have the yard space to do it? For a $10.00 deposit, plus only $12.00 per year, Carbondale residents can use a

20-foot by 20-foot plot in the community garden behind Hickory Lodge, located

at 1115 West Sycamore ($18.00 per year, plus deposit for non-residents). Stop

by the LIFE Community Center at 2500 W. Sunset Drive after February 1, 2015 to sign up for your spot. Our Grounds

Department will till, prepare, and stake out plots in March, weather permitting.

Gardeners will be notified when the ground is ready for planting.
