Special Family Rates

The Coloma Township Park District will be giving discounts to families and children with multi-interests. The two plans are outlined below:

FAMILY PLAN: This plan is for the family who will have more than one child participating in the same program. The second child registered in the same program will receive a $2 discount.

EXAMPLE: A family has three children participating in the Cheerleading Programs. The first child will pay $15 and the second and third child will pay $13 for a total of $41 for the entire family.

MULTI-INTERESTS PLAN: This plan is for the family who has a child who is interested in more than one program. The child would pay the regular fee for the first program and for each additional program the same child is registered in, she will receive a $2 discount on each of the programs.

EXAMPLE: A child wishes to participate in the Cheerleading, Pom Pon and Tumbling programs. She would pay $20 for the Tumbling program, $13 for the Cheerleading Program and $13 for the Pom Pon Program for a total of $46.

***The program with the higher fee will always be considered the first program.***

Tee Baseball and Men’s Slowpitch League do not qualify for these special rates.

Summer Picnic Reservations

A small fee is charged by the Coloma Township Park District for shelter rentals. This charge is to help cover the cost of moving picnic tables in and out of the shelter as needed and also for the cleaning before and after the gathering. Each shelter is rented only once each day. On the morning of the event, a Reserved Sign will be put up with the rental party’s name on it. An adequate number of picnic tables will be supplied. In the event of cancellation, a $10.00 service fee will be applied. Cancellations must take place by notifying the Coloma Township Park District Administrative Office at 508 East 11th Street, Rock Falls or calling 1-815-625-0272. No rainout refunds will be issued.

Civic Fund Helps Support the Summer Programs

The Rock Falls Civic Fund provides monies to help the Coloma Township Park District sponsor a well rounded summer youth recreation program for the citizens of the District. Without the generous support of the Rock Falls Civic Fund, which offsets some of the costs of providing various recreation programs listed in this brochure, programs would either have a higher fee or would not be possible at all. The Rock Falls Civic Fund is a sub-agency of the Whiteside County United Way. The Coloma Township Park District Board of Commissioners and staff gratefully acknowledge the Rock Falls Civic Fund for all of its help in past years and present.
