Resident ID Required

The FREE Resident ID Card is required for children under age 16 for daily admission. To ensure residency privileges are not abused, all patrons paying for a daily visit to the Water Park or Recreation Center must prove their residency within the Tinley Park-Park District boundaries to receive the discounted resident rate. Children show this card at the Water Park gate or Recreation Center front desk and pay the resident’s daily fee. Report cards and school IDs do not prove residency.Those aged 16 and older use their Driver’s License for identification.

A parent must accompany their child(ren) age 15 and younger to the Recreation Center front desk to obtain the Resident ID Card.

PLEASE NOTE: Village/Corporate rates refer to those living within the boundaries of the Village of Tinley Park but outside the boundaries of the Tinley Park-Park District. Proof of residency and/or employment (current check stub) is required.

Rental Facilities

The Park District offers many rooms to host your next gathering.

Rental requests should be made a minimum of 30 days in advance and can be booked a maximum of 4 months before your event. Full-service kitchen facilities are available with several of the room rentals. Rates begin as low as $50 per hour and will vary depending upon your room selection.

Participant Behavior Code

The Tinley Park-Park District has an established behavior policy relative to inappropriate behavior. Inappropriate behavior is defined as that which disrupts a recreation program/activity or participant facility usage and requires staff to call a stop to the behavior due to its effect on other participants or the ability for staff conduct the program/activity. A tiered approach for consequences congruent with unacceptable behaviors will be used. However, certain behaviors or repeated offences may call for immediate and or/permanent dismissal of the individual from the program/facility. Specific rules may be developed for individual programs/activities/facilities as deemed necessary by staff.

The District reserves the right to dismiss without refund any participant or spectator who violates the behavior management policy. In addition, if it is believed that such actions pose a threat to the general safety or welfare of other participants, the individual or group may risk expulsion from District properties and/or facilities.

This Behavior Management Policy is supplemental and in addition to the District Code, neither of which shall be interpreted to be mutually exclusive. In the event of a conflict between the Behavior Management Policy and the District Code, the more specific provision shall apply.

Appeal

Participants have the right to appeal a suspension or expulsion from a program. Suspension appeals should go to the Superintendent/Manager of the Department issuing the suspension. Decisions after review of an appeal are final and may not be appealed further.

Membership

Residents of Tinley Park-Park District can purchase an annual pass to the Bettenhausen Recreation Center, which includes unlimited use of the indoor walking track and basketball courts. Memberships are effective for one year from the date of purchase.
