Recreation Policies

Below you will find the policies of the Spanish Fork Parks & Recreation Department.
 

Liability Waiver

If you or any of your family members will be participating in any Parks & Recreation programs, you must have a current "Lifetime Family Liability Waiver" on file with the Parks & Recreation Office. When signing up for an account on RecOnline, you agree to this waiver.

  • Our department uses a LIFETIME family liability waiver. This is tied to your RecOnline account.
  • Participants that are 18 years or older should sign up for their own account.
  • Account information must be kept current. If information changes (address, phone, email) or you need to add new family members, you must contact the Parks & Recreation Office. 
  • Fees will not be accepted for anyone that is not covered by a liability waiver.

If you would prefer, you may download a printable copy of the Liability Waiver, and bring it into our office.

Refund Policy

 

Activity Refunds

  • A processing fee will be deducted from all refunds except for those due to injury that prevents participation.
  • A full refund less processing fee will be given before an activity begins.
  • If teams have been divided or participant has had some participation (practices, camp instruction, equipment distribution, etc.) the amount of the refund will decrease.
  • If a program has limited space and is full, you will not receive a refund unless your spot can be filled!
