We recommend that each family establish a primary account with login credentials. Create the account in the name of a head of household and then add all family member names and credentials underneath the head of household after it has been established. 

Each adult on the household with a unique email address will then also be able to login with their own credentials.

The Elmhurst Park District is committed to providing the highest quality recreation activities, events, and programs. If a customer is not completely satisfied with a District class, program, or activity, due to circumstances under the District’s control, the District will arrange for the customer to repeat the class at no charge, receive credit toward another program, or receive a refund. 

A full refund will be granted...

• if a customer withdraws online up to seven (7) days before the start date for most activities (certain activities have separate withdrawal dates), the amount will be credited to their account or credit card.
• if a customer is dissatisfied with a District class, program, or activity due to circumstances under the District’s control, refund requests must be made prior to the third-class meeting or within two (2) weeks of a single/double-meeting activity.
• if the refund is initiated by the District (e.g., cancelled class, low enrollment).
• for a customer’s injury or illness with a doctor’s note before the program begins.

The policy for all other refund requests is the following unless otherwise noted under exceptions at the end of the policy:

• If a refund request is made up to 48 hours prior to the start of the program, a full refund will be credited to a customer’s account. If the customer requests that the refund be issued to a credit card or as a check, a $5 service charge will be deducted from the refund.
• If a refund request is made less than 48 hours before a class and a class has not started, a refund will be credited to a customer’s account minus one class prorated fee. If the customer requests that the refund be issued to a credit card or as a check, a $5 service charge will be deducted from the refund.
• Once a program has started, refunds will be credited to a customer’s account minus a prorated fee for the classes that met. If the customer requests that the refund be issued to a credit card or as a check, a $5 service charge will be deducted from the refund. Programs that require approval from the Program Supervisor to refund include Sunbeams & Rainbows, Rec Station, Gymnastics Team and Pre Team, and Recital Dance Programs.
• After the midpoint of the program, no refund will be issued except for a customer’s illness/injury with proof of a doctor’s note.
• After a class is over, no refunds will be issued.

If a customer account has no activity after one (1) year from the date a refund was credited to the account, the refund will automatically be issued by check minus a $5 service charge.

One of the goals of the new system is to eliminate the need for separate registrations. ActiveNet has many large clients, including the Chicago Park District, who hold mass reservation events, and they are confident they can handle the traffic on the first day of registration.  

However, there will still be separate registration days for Summer Camps and Aquatics programs.
