Do you have questions about our recreation programs? Please see below!

Am I a resident?

Programs and services provided are open to ALL Wisconsin Rapids residents, at a reduced rate. A resident is defined as any individual who lives within the boundaries of the city of Wisconsin Rapids. Non-Residency is any location outside of the Wisconsin Rapids city limits; i.e., Biron, Grand Rapids, Kellner, Nekoosa, Port Edwards, Rudolph, Saratoga, etc. Even if your address is Wisconsin Rapids, you are not considered a resident if you live in a surrounding community. If you have a question about your residency, please give us a call – and thank you for your interest and participation in our programs!!

PAYMENT

All fees must be paid in FULL at the time of registration. Include payment for total amount of registrations in the form of a check or money order. Registration must be completed prior to scheduled class. You may also register online HERE. Space is limited. Or print our Recreation Registration Form to mail in or drop off with payment.

Closures, cancellations & Make-Ups

Please check the Parks & Recreation Facebook page or listen to WFHR Radio prior to calling the office regarding cancellation of various activities sponsored by the Parks & Recreation Department due to inclement weather. Classes missed for individual absences (i.e., illness, vacations, etc.) are not “made-up” nor may participants attend classes other than the one they are registered for.

LIABILITY
Participants assume the risk of injuries that occur during programs and activities. The City of Wisconsin Rapids and the Parks & Recreation Department are not liable for any injuries, or for the treatment of those injuries. Participants are encouraged to obtain their own health or other insurance to cover their participation in these programs and activities.​
Photographs
For program promotion purposes, we may photograph several of our activities and their participants. Photographs may be used in various fliers, brochures or on our website. If you do not wish to have your or your child’s photo taken, please notify the department when registering.
Refunds
Full Refunds will be given if: 1) Program is canceled, 2) Attendee gives at least 24 hours’ notice prior to the start of the program, or 3) If there are changes to the original schedule and the participant can no longer attend. No refunds will be issued after the start of the program. Class fees will not be prorated.
