RULES AND REGULATIONS
Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department provides supervised recreational programs for
the children of this community. For the safety and enjoyment of all participants, we ask that you review the following
rules and regulations with your child.
1.
Before participation in any program, the Parent/Guardian must complete the registration form and pay the
non-refundable registration fee, as well as any additional program fees that may exist. Refunds will be given if
the program is cancelled by the Department and/or if the registrant withdraws from the program two (2) or
more business days prior to the program start date. If withdrawing less than two (2) business days, the
registrant will only receive a credit towards another program (restrictions may apply). All refund requests must
be made in writing on a Refund Request Form.

from bringing such items.

A $5.00 per child late pick-up fee will be charged for every 15 minutes that child is picked up late after
6:00 P.M. An authorized person must sign the participant in/out daily. In case of an emergency, if
someone who has not been previously authorized by parent/guardian comes to pick up a participant:
written consent by the Parent/Guardian must be given to the staff through email/fax with the full
name of the person, staff will match the consent to that of the person’s ID and a photocopy of the ID
will be kept in the participant’ file.
4.
In order to participate in fieldtrips, a signed permission slip for the participant must be on file at the park office
prior to leaving the park. Verbal permission will not be honored. Participation for various trips may be based
on honor points, attendance, conduct, and/or permission slips turned in on time.
5.
Bicycles, skateboards, cellular phones, any electronic devices are prohibited during program hours.
6.
Participants should bring lunch and snack daily unless otherwise specified. Refrigeration is not provided.
Athletic shoes and proper apparel must be worn at all times while participating in program activities. Please
mark all of the participant’s belongings so they can be easily identified.
7.
If the participant shows symptoms of illness prior to the day's activities, please make other arrangements. If
the participant becomes sick during the day, you must have them picked up right away.
8.
Medical insurance is not provided for participants. Should injury occur during any scheduled activity, it is the
Parent/Guardian’s responsibility to provide medical care for the participant.
9.
Group supervision is provided for participants.
Participants who do not stay with their groups will not be
allowed to remain in the program.
Rough
conduct, disrespect to staff, group disruptions, damage to
recreation property or equipment, vandalism, thievery, fighting, use of profanity, or any undesirable act
could result in the participant’s expulsion from the program. Any disciplinary problems will be discussed
between the Parent/Guardian and the Park Manager.
10.
MDPROS strives for inclusion within all programs. The Parent/Guardian of Participants with a disability or
behavioral challenge will be required to adhere to our Inclusion Process. An inclusion plan will be developed
at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the program, if needed, so to evaluate and determine reasonable
accommodations. In some cases, accommodations may take longer.
I have read and reviewed the above rules.
