Code of Conduct
To ensure an enjoyable and safe program for all participants, the Hodgkins Park District has developed a behavioral code of conduct. Participants must:
Show respect to all participants and staff
Refrain from using foul language
Refrain from causing bodily harm
Show respect for equipment, supplies &
facilities
Temporary removal or permanent suspension from the
program and/or facility may result if behavioral standards
are not maintained.
Insurance
The Hodgkins Park District does not provide medical insurance coverage or liability insurance coverage for those
participating in recreation programs or while using Park
facilities. Such insurance would make programs and user
fees prohibitive.
Policies
Non Resident Fees
Registration is on a first come first serve basis.
All programs listed in this brochure are contingent upon sufficient enrollment. All field trips
are also on a first come first serve basis. Registration must be made at least 5 days before the
first day of class unless otherwise indicated. All
registrations made after the 5 day deadline are
subject to a 10% fee. The Park has the right to
cancel any programs or trips due to lack of
participation or unforeseen circumstance.
The Hodgkins Park District residents, via property taxes, make a significant financial contribution to the operation of the Park District
whether they use it or not. The Non-Residents
Fair Share concept is intended to apportion any
equalizing fee to Non-Resident participants so
they contribute to the overall financing of the
Park District on an equitable basis with Residents. Throughout this brochure, the higher
fee is the Non-Resident fair share fee. A
“Resident” is defined as anyone “LIVING” within
the geographic boundaries of the Village of
Hodgkins.
Refunds
After a class has started: refunds will not be
given unless there is a doctor’s excuse given.
There will be deductions taken for classes
held.
There will be $10 handling on all refunds,
unless the class was canceled by the Park
District.
All checks returned due to insufficient
funds will be charged a $30 handling fee.
There will be no refunds for any reason after a two week cancellation date!
A Note to Parent or Guardian
When present in the classroom with the assigned teacher, children are under the instructor’s supervision. In all cases, it is understood
that children eight years and older, are responsible for their own behavior and whereabouts
while they are at a program site. Parents
should establish and discuss with their children
both drop-off and pick-up arrangements, and
guidelines relative to expectations of on-site
conduct.
Payment Methods

Programs for YOU!
Is there something you’ve always
wanted to learn? Let us know and
we’ll try to find an instructor. Do
you have any skills you could share
as an instructor or do you know anyone who might like instructing a
class? Again, let us know. This is
your Recreation Department!
Fee Assistance
If you are aware of any children who
are being denied the right to participate in recreation programs due to
the fee structure, kindly inform the
Hodgkins Park District. Requests will
be considered on an individual basis.
Keep Your Pets Out of the Parks
Please keep your dogs and other pets
out of the parks. The presence of
animals makes the maintenance of a
clean and healthy environment much
more difficult. It also prevents many
persons from enjoying the parks.
708-354-6563
In order to better serve participants, please check this box to inform us of any special needs, accommodations, severe reactions/allergies, or
medical conditions that may impact the participant’s enjoyment in the programs. We will then call to discuss appropriate and further actions

inherent to outdoor and indoor recreational activities/programs
exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible
for the Hodgkins Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

Chair yoga is a gentle type of yoga practiced while
sitting in a chair or standing to use the chair as
support, giving you all of the benefits of Hatha yoga.
Classical yoga postures are modified for chair yoga
to gently stretch, extend and flex the spine, and exercise muscles and joints. Postures also align the
body, allowing energy to flow freely, which massages and tones internal organs, enhancing circulation, digestion, hormonal activity and overall health.
Practitioners of yoga achieve increased muscle tone,
flexibility, energy, stamina and strength. Breathing
techniques, meditation and deep relaxation provide
the tools to reduce stress, anxiety and depression
and allow you to improve concentration, sleep better and find your inner strength. Chair yoga is
suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions. Min 10
