Will I be contacted should a particular program or event be canceled?

The Park District decides whether a particular program will take place based on minimum registration numbers. Should a class be canceled due to low enrollment, all registered participants will be contacted, two business days prior to the program start date. Please be aware that certain programs have special registration deadlines. The Park District will make every effort to offer an alternative opportunity when available. Otherwise, we will provide a refund or give credit to your family account.

Why do programs have minimum and maximum registration requirements?

Class minimums are established to make sure programs have enough registration support to justify holding the program. Maximum numbers are established to maintain the safety and quality of a program. We keep student/instructor ratios low to ensure high quality programs. Room capacity and ratios are primary considerations for the maximum number listed.

Can Park District facilities be rented for functions, parties, etc.?

Yes, the Medinah Park District has both indoor and outdoor facilities that can be rented by the hour. Please visit the Facility Rentals page for additional information on how to book a facility.
