Due to the Downers Grove Park District facility closure due to COVID-19, below are steps for a modified registration process. Once facilities are re-open, our regular registration process will resume which includes in-person registration at the Lincoln Center

Registration During COVID-19 Closure

  • Step 1: Email Sara Cunningham, Recreation Supervisor of Early Childhood to receive a modified registration form - scunningham@dgparks.org
  • Step 2: You will complete the form that is emailed to you and submit it back to Sara Cunningham
  • Step 3: Once your registration is approved by our Recreation Staff, you will be notified by email to log on to our online registration system and pay your $75 registration fee.
  • Step 4: Once the Lincoln Center is back open, staff will reach out to you to schedule a date for you to bring in the required documents to complete the registration process (copy of your child's birth certificate and proof of residency if you are a DG Park District resident). Non-residents are welcome to register.
