Waiver and Release

Waiver and Release ... Please read carefully! The Lemont Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Lemont Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for this program/activity must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities. You are solely responsible for determining if you or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity. The Lemont Park District welcomes and supports the participation of individuals with special needs in all programs, activities, and services. If any person wishing to participate in a Lemont Park District program has special needs that must be accommodated to enable participation, that person (or parent/guardian) must notify the Recreation supervisor responsible for the activity or program. The Lemont Park District will do what is reasonably possible to satisfy those needs. Please note, securing accommodations can take 10-20 business days. Warning of Risk Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity/program. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Participants must understand that certain risks, dangers, and injuries due to acts of God, inclement weather, slipping, falling, equipment failure, failure of supervision, premise defects and all other circumstances inherent to recreational activities/programs exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Lemont Park District to guarantee absolute safety. Waiver & Release of All Claims & Assumption of Risk Please read this form carefully and be aware that in signing up and participating in this program/activity, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages, or loss which you or your minor child/ward might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with this program/activity (including transportation vehicles when provided.) I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury to participants in this program/activity, and I voluntarily agree to assume the full risk of any and all injuries, damages or loss, regardless of severity, that my minor child/ward or I may sustain as a result of said participation. I further agree to waive and relinquish all claims I or my minor child/ ward may have (or accrue to me or my child/ward) as a result of participating in this program/activity against the Lemont Park District, including its officials, agents, volunteers and employees (hereinafter collectively referred as Lemont Park District.) I do hereby fully release and forever discharge the Lemont Park District from any and all claims for injuries, damages or loss that my minor child/ward or I may have, or which may accrue to me or my minor child/ward and arising out of, connecting with, or in any way associated with this program/activity. I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering a minor participant, I further attest that I have read the above to my minor child/ ward. Any faxed registration forms/signatures will be considered the same as an original form/signature. Participation will be denied if the signature of an adult participant or the parent/guardian are not on the front of this waiver. Participation will be denied if the signature of an adult participant or the parent/guardian is not completed. SMILE...
