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

Or print our Recreation Registration Form to mail in or drop off with payment.Closures, cancellations & Make-Ups
Please watch for a text, or check parks.wirapids.org and the Parks & Recreation Facebook page 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.Insurance
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 us when registering. Refunds
Full Refunds will be given if: 1) Program is cancelled, 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. Spectators
One of the fundamental instructional program goals is to provide your child with a fun and positive learning opportunity with their peers, while developing separation skills. Parents are welcome to observe the last scheduled class of the session. For the best instructional atmosphere, observation of other class sessions is not permitted. Please feel free to discuss your child’s progress before and after class with the instructor.Starting & Ending Class Times Reminder
Our instructors need time to open facilities and prepare for your class. Please provide proper supervision, as children “dropped off” before classes start will not be supervised by our staff. Parents should not leave until instructors have called their class and taken attendance. Classes will end as scheduled. Instructors are either preparing for the next class or closing the facility; your promptness in picking up your child is necessary. volunteer opportunities
