McALLEN PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

The Department strives to: Improve the quality of life through the provision of well balanced,

high quality recreation programs for the residents of McAllen to enjoy during their leisure time.

Facilitate wholesome and constructive programs with a measurable value to the community.

Provide attractive and well-maintained major parks and recreation facilities in each sector of the city. These facilities should be

within a reasonable distance of every surrounding neighborhood and offer safe opportunities for athletic competition, facility

gatherings, and other passive and active recreation activities.

Promote environmental conservation, eco and cultural tourism and socially oriented special events.

MEDICAL POLICYThe City of McAllen Parks and Recreation Department will not prohibit any person from participating in an activity due to a medical condition or handicap, unless such condition is likely to cause injury to that individual or other participants in the activity. A participant who has been notified by a qualified medical professional that he/she has a medical condition that is likely to cause injury to themselves or other participants, is obligated to inform the Parks and Recreation Department, at the time of registration, of the condition and willingly withdraw from the program or activity if requested by the Department. It is recommended that all participants receive medical authorization before participating in these programs.

REFUNDS AND TRANSFERSWe constantly strive to provide you with the highest quality recreation programs. If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with a class or activity, please tell us so we can respond to your concerns. In addition to using your feedback to help us improve, for nearly all of our programs, we will arrange one of the following: TRANSFERS between classes will be allowed only prior to the third class meeting, at no charge. After the third class meeting, transfers may be made, pending space availability, with a charge of $5 per class. REFUNDS for classes will be allowed only prior to the third class meeting and will carry a $5 fee per class. Requests for transfers and refunds must be in writing. Some of our programs, such as Adult Leagues and Facility Rentals, have different, specific policies which apply. The McAllen Parks and Recreation Department retains the privilege of canceling any scheduled activity that fails to generate minimum interest.

INCLUSION PROCESSThe City of McAllen Parks and Recreation welcomes the opportunity to accommodate our patrons with special needs so that full participation in leisure and recreation programs may be enjoyed by all. Reasonable modifications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis taking the appropriate steps to ensuring a safe and enjoyable leisure experience. Patrons with special needs are encouraged to bring a companion with them for assistance at no extra charge in lieu of an additional staff member.
