ResponsibilitiesThe Chicago Heights Park District assumes no responsibility for injuries or loss of personal property while attending a Park District-sponsored activity or facility. We ask that all participants in Chicago Heights Park District programs carry their own medical insurance. Though we make every effort to minimize situations that could lead to injuries, accidents can happen. Group coverage through the Park District is not available because the high costs of medical insurance prohibit us from offering quality programs at their current low rates.
Waivers of LiabilityTo participate in any Chicago Heights Park District program, you must sign a waiver releasing the Park District of any liability.
