The Park District takes pride in the beauty and safety of our parks. However, each year our efforts are marred by vandalism, which takes its toll through higher costs of maintenance, repair and clean-up. Residents who observe vandalism are asked to contact the Park District at (708) 868-2530, or to report it to the police. The Calumet Memorial Park District assumes no responsibility for personal injury or loss of personal property while participating or attending a CMPD-sponsored program or facility. No medical or accidental insurance is provided.
Vandalism
Liability
No one will be discriminated against on the basis of a disability. All of the Calumet Memorial Park Districts facilities have been remodeled to assure equal access to all. Reasonable accommodations in recreation programs and leisure services will be made for persons who meet the essential eligibility requirements of that activity. If you have any questions or special concerns, please contact Charles Dockery, Executive Director, at (708) 868-2530.
Each year, the Calumet Memorial Park District works with other intergovernmental groups to bring our residents the best recreational opportunities possible. We thank these groups.
