Refundable Fees*

All room rentals are by the hour and there is a 2-hour minimum required. Rentals are on a first-come, first-served basis, require a minimum 2-week notice, and must be accompanied by a completed application and $100 security deposit. If any damage has occurred, the room was not cleaned up, or the renter broke park district rules and regulations, an additional fee will be applied on top of rental costs and the Park District reserves the right to keep part or all of the security deposit. The Lisle Park District has the right to cancel, alter or terminate all or some of the conditions as provided for in the agreement in the event the renter and/or participants fail to comply with the established rules. If the event is cancelled, then the deposit is forfeited.

Cancellations

Cancellations made at least 14 days prior to the reserved date will receive a full refund. Cancellations made less than 14 days prior will forfeit the security deposit of $100 for room rentals. There will be no refunds given for inclement weather.
