Errors and Adjustments
While the Niles Park District strives for accuracy in their Fun Guide and program information, occasional errors or changes may occur due to the volume of information.

Popular classes fill up quickly, and decisions to cancel classes due to low enrollment are made in advance. To avoid disappointment, please register early and do not wait until the last minute. Registering early helps ensure your spot and prevents potential class cancellations.
Refund Policy
Niles Park District offers a fair refund policy. A full refund, minus a $10 service charge per child, is granted if the refund request is received before the program starts.
