How to Register Online

Registering for Park District programs is easier than ever. With the online registration system, you can:

  • Search to find the classes or programs you are looking for.
  • Find out if a program is available before registering.
  • Register whenever it is convenient for you, not just when our office is open.
  • Receive e-mail confirmations of online registrations

Here's How it Works

  • To use the online registration system, you must have a valid User ID and a Password.
  • Recent Park District Users (anyone who has registered in the past two years) may call 815-987-8800 or e-mail rpdmail@rockfordparkdistrict.org during Customer Service hours to obtain their User ID and Password. You can also use the household number listed on past receipts or the first six numbers on your season pass as your User ID and Password.
  • New Park District Users (anyone who has not registered in the past two years) may register online as a new user. You will need to furnish your name, address, birthdate, and telephone numbers as well as an e-mail address, to receive a User ID and Password. An enrollment confirmation containing your User ID and Password will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours.
  • Those without a User ID and Password will be able to browse our program listings by clicking on the Guest button, but must obtain a User ID and Password to register online.

While viewing our programs online, here is the information you will find when you click on these symbols for each program:

  • When you are logged in with a valid User Id and password, you will see a "Shopping Cart" symbol next to programs available for registration. When you are logged in as a Guest, you will see a "Shopping Cart" symbol with a slash through it.
  • Click on the "House" symbol to see the location where the program is scheduled to be held.
  • Click on the "Dollar Sign" symbol to see a summary of the fees for an activity. When you log in with a valid User Id and Password, you will see the correct price based on your residency.
  • Click on the "Check Mark" symbol for class size information, including minimum and maximum counts, how many participants are enrolled, and the size of the waiting list (if applicable). The symbol will be green if class has openings, yellow if the class has a waiting list, and red if registrations are no longer being accepted.
  • Click on the "Question Mark" symbol for a brief description of the activity, including age/grade restrictions.
