Code of Conduct & Policies

Code of Conduct

Foothills Park & Recreation District strives to create an atmosphere of respect and courtesy. Appropriate social behavior and treatment of others is expected of all District employees, patrons and participants. Physical, mental, verbal or emotional abuse will not be accepted or tolerated by anyone participating in any District activity, facility or program.

Any District employee shall be authorized to enforce the Code of Conduct, along with any rules and regulations applicable to the facility, activity, park or program. Any person acting inappropriately or disrespectfully may be subject to a revocation of the privilege of using District facilities or participating in District activities or programs. Such revocation may be for whatever period of time District staff shall determine appropriate, up to a permanent ban from District programs and facilities based upon the circumstances of the specific incident or occurrence. If the person subject to such revocation or ban believes enforcement of this Code of Conduct was inappropriate, a written request for modification of such enforcement may be made to the Executive Director, who shall consider the request and render a final determination after exercising their discretion.

Thank you for your cooperation and for making Foothills Park & Recreation District facilities a safe and enjoyable place to play!

Accessibility

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, Foothills Park & Recreation District will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities. This requires the District to ensure that persons with disabilities seeking information or services, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by persons who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the District.

Foothills Park & Recreation District will generally, upon request, provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for qualified persons with disabilities so they can participate equally in District programs, services and activities. These include qualified sign language interpreters, documents in Braille, and other ways of making information and communications accessible to people who have speech, hearing or vision impairments.

Foothills Park & Recreation District will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services and activities. For example, individuals with service animals are permitted in Foothills facilities, even where pets are generally prohibited.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity, should contact (303) 409-2118, or humanresources@fhprd.org as soon as possible but no later than 10 days before the class/activity.
