Residency Disclaimer

A resident (RES) is defined as anyone living within the geographical boundaries of the St. Charles Community Unit School District 303. A non-resident (NR) is someone who lives outside the geographical boundaries. A member (M) belongs to the Norris Recreation Center to receive additional benefits, services and discounts. Norris Recreation Center reserves the right to request proof of residency. Final determination of residency will be made when processed by the Park District, not at the time of purchase.

How will you know if you’re registered?

A registration confirmation will be emailed to the main contact of the household account once the registration is processed.

*For this reason, it is imperative that you provide both your email and phone number on your registration form.

What happens when you’re on the wait list?

Financial Aid Program

To provide recreation opportunities for the St. Charles community, this program was established by the Park Board to assist economically challenged youth and families residing within the St. Charles Park District’s boundaries. It is supported by funding partnerships with the St. Charles Park Foundation. Those who qualify may apply for up to $750 per household per year to offset the cost of registering for recreation programs or memberships. For more information: click here

Age Explanation

There is a difference in how the minimum and maximum age required for a program registration is noted in the Activity Guide as compared to Online Registration. Activity Guide standard minimum and maximum age reads, for example, “Ages 3-5” indicating the minimum age required first, followed by the maximum age. Online Registration standard minimum and maximum age reads, for example, “At least 3 but less than 6” indicating the minimum age required first, followed by ‘but less than’ the maximum age. In this example, a child five years and up to 364 days old may register for the class while a child six years old may not register, unless approved by a Recreation Supervisor.

Program Ideas

Do you have an idea for a program you would like to see offered? Better yet, do you have a special interest or talent you would like to share with others? Norris Recreation Center is always looking for new program ideas and instructors with creative ideas or “hidden” talents to teach or lead various recreation classes. If you have a particular interest/talent and are willing to lead activities, or if you have a suggestion for a new program, call 630-377-1405.
