Refunds are made 4-6 weeks after refund application. The Park Board has adopted a policy for non-resident user fees at most facilities and for most programs. This policy apportions an equalized higher fee to our non-resident participants. The higher fee contributes to the overall financing of the Park Department on a equitable basis with the Valparaiso City residents who contribute by paying property taxes. Children may receive financial assistance to reduce the basic fee for most youth programs.
Financial assistance is based on family income, and the number of members in the family.
To apply simply inquire when registering for a youth activity. A parent will be required to complete a short form. More information and guidelines are available at the Park Office.
