| Canoe Launch at Lions Park |
The park site at Beecher Avenue across from the Windfield Central School was recently renamed
Lions Park. The change in the name is in recognition of the past, present, and future contributions that have been made to the Winfield community
by the Winfield Lions Club. The park is located on the banks of the West Branch of the DuPage River. A Canoe Launch is located at the
northwest corner of the park. The launch is the perfect starting point for a one-and-a-half hour trip down Canoe
Launch. Parking is available at both locations. For questions or additional information, contact Mark Pawlowski at 653-3811 ext. 112. TOP

| General Policies |
- It is the responsibility of a
program participant or one's parent/guardian to notify the
park district of any physical limitations that may limit or
impair one's activity in any program for which one is
registered. In the event of a serious accident or illness of
a participant, it is our policy to contact the Village of
Winfield Fire Department to perform emergency first aid and
transport the victim to the hospital. A person desiring a
different procedure must specify so, in writing, at the time
of registration.
- For classes that involve degrees of
ability, the instructor reserves the right to place students
in the class best suited to their abilities.
- WE LOVE PARENTS, BUT with your child's best interest in mind, we
ask that parents do not remain in class or bring other
children into class, as they may interrupt participant's
attention and inhibit the establishment of peer relations.
Thank you for your cooperation.
- WAIVERS
must be signed for all programs in this brochure. No one
will be allowed to participate in a program without a signed
waiver accompanying a registration form.
- NON-RESIDENT POLICY
Winfield Park District
residents, through taxes, make a financial contribution to
the operations of the park district whether they use our
services or not. Non-Resident fees are charged so that
non-residents contribute to the overall financing of the
park district on an equitable basis. Non- resident fees are
indicated next to resident fees under each program
description.
- PROOF OF AGE
Parents of first time
participants must bring a copy of a birth certificate when
registering a child age 5 years or younger for any program.
Children must be the appropriate age by the first day of the
program.
- Park district employees are not responsible for and will not toilet train or diaper
children.
- All participants permit the taking
of photos and videotapes of themselves and their children
during Park District activities for publication and use as
the Park District deems necessary.
- The "paid wait list" helps you in
several ways. Those on the paid wait list have first
priority when space is created due to someone cancelling, or
when a class enrollment has been increased. TOP
