From sports and swimming to arts, travel and community events, the Freeport Park District offers programs for all ages, interests and abilities. Whether you’re looking to learn something new, stay active or connect with others, you’ll find a program that fits your lifestyle.
Registration for Park District Programs is handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that each Freeport Park District program has a registration deadline that is listed in the program description. Registration deadlines are created to allow time for staff to determine if minimum enrollment is met, create schedules, order supplies and equipment, form rosters and organize other resources to ensure a successful program. Registration may not be accepted after the published registration deadline. Many Freeport Park District programs have maximum capacity and fill up quickly. It is strongly encouraged to register early to guarantee enrollment in a program.
Refund Policy
Refunds for classes and events will be given if requested two weeks or more prior to the program start time (minus a $5 service charge). If a refund request is made within two weeks (14 days) of the start of the class or program, only a partial reimbursement (less a $5 service charge and direct program expenses) will be issued. Refunds for bus trips (minus a $5 service charge) will be issued only for a documented medical emergency or if arrangements are made for someone to fill the opening. Cash refunds will not be issued once the class/program has begun. A Program Refund Request Form must be completed and submitted to the Park District Administration Center before a refund will be issued.
Cancellations
The Freeport Park District reserves the right to cancel, postpone or combine classes.
