REGISTER ONLINE
We highly recommend registering for programs through our online registration system.
If you've registered for programs with us or have a fitness membership, you most likely already have an account!
If you have forgotten your username or password - or aren't sure you have one - you can use the self-help options on our Login page by selecting Forgot Username or Forgot Password. If you'd prefer assistance, feel free to contact our registration team Monday-Friday from 9am - 4pm at 630.960.7500.
Already Have an Account?
If you've never registered with the Downers Grove Park District, follow the steps below to create a new account.
Important: Accounts must complete the audit process before being eligible to register. If you plan to register on the opening day of our seasonal Registration Guide, please create your account in advance so it is ready and approved before registration begins.
Create an Account
- When creating your account be sure to add your family members so they can be included in program registrations. Note: If you miss this step, you'll need to submit an Additional Family Member Request Form to have them added to your account once it's been created.
Verify Your Email
- You will be required to verify your email address before submitting your account information for approval. Note: Email verification does not mean your account has been approved. All accounts undergo a residency and eligibility review. You will receive a follow-up email once your account has been reviewed.
Residency Audit
After your email address has been verified, your account will be reviewed and audited by staff within 24-48 hours to check for duplicate accounts, eligible family members and verify residency within the Downers Grove Park District.
- If your address pays taxes into the Downers Grove Park District but residency is unclear, proof of residency for all adults listed on the account may be required before your account can be approved. If documentation is requested, you will have 48 hours to provide it. Failure to submit proof within this timeframe will result in your account being approved as non-resident, allowing you to register for programs at the non-resident rate.
- If your address does not pay taxes into the Downers Grove Park District, your account will be approved as a Nonresident account. Note: Even if you live in Downers Grove, if your address does not contribute taxes to the Downers Grove Park District, you are considered as a Nonresident.
Accounts created outside of our Customer Service hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm) may take up to 24-48 hours for approval
Account Approval
Once your account has been reviewed and approved, you will receive an email confirmation letting you know you can access your account.
