The Rockford Park District strongly encourages participants' self-responsibility for their personal health, including personal care and medications. We ask that whenever possible, participants take their medication before or after, rather than during programming.

Please understand that the Rockford Park District will administer medication for youth under the age of eighteen and/or participants enrolled in our Therapeutic Recreation specific programs only in situations that are absolutely necessary for a participant's health, and which fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act and District guidelines. Authorized staff will only administer medications during registered programs that are two hours or greater in length or in emergency situations (i.e., Epi-pen, asthma inhaler) provided that a Medication Administration Permission Form is completed.
