Residency The Springfield Park District is committed to serving the residents of the Springfield Park District. Springfield Park District residents may be different than City of Springfield residents. A resident is defined as anyone living within the boundaries of the Springfield Park District. Residents support the Springfield Park District facilities and programs through property taxes and therefore receive preferred rates for many of the services provided by the Springfield Park District. You may have a Springfield Park District address, but not pay taxes to the Springfield Park District. The quickest way to determine your Park District resident status is to check your resident tax bill. The taxes you may pay to the park district will be listed. Resident and non-resident fees are listed within the program information. When establishing a new household account with the Springfield Park District, and including an online account, each resident is required to prove residency in person. This is a matter of data verification to make sure we have the most updated information in our new system. Please provide two qualifying documents for each person you are listing on your account from the options provided below. *Note that a current drivers’ license, government issued ID, or passport must be one of the qualifying documents if you are an Adult over the age of 18.
Payment The Springfield Park District accepts cash, checks, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit cards/debit cards. Springfield Park District gift certificates may be also used. Please note a $30 charge will be assessed for a check returned.
