PRCS Refund Guidelines

At the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Department, we understand that “life happens.” Sometimes, you may need a refund for the PRCS rentals you booked. Or, you may be unable to attend the programs and/or activities you planned. The information here lets you know how to apply for a refund when needed.

Please read the guidelines below for the area you are seeking a refund. If your request meets the parameters listed below, please fill out this request form.  Or, use the "Request Your Refund Here!" button to the right or below the guidelines.  Either way, your request will be routed to the correct staff person for approval and processing.  

Please note: All refunds must be requested in writing. Refunds will be issued either in the form of a check, an account credit, or a refund back to the credit card of purchase and may take 2 to 6 weeks to process.  Credit card transactions can take 2 to 5 days. 

Full refunds will be extended any time a program, activity or rental is cancelled by the City. In these cases, there will be no need to submit a refund request form. The City will automatically process the refund.
