Because the West Fargo Park District cares about patrons, the following policy was adopted. We ask all parents and guardians to be on time when picking up their child from a West Fargo Park District activity or facility. Any child not picked up 20 minutes after an activity ends is considered an “unattended child." Program leaders will remain on site until all patrons have left the premises. However, after 20 minutes, the West Fargo Police Department will be contacted to pick up the child and escort them to the proper authorities. Children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult or a student age 14 or older.

Unattended Child Policy

We are committed to supporting the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you require special accommodations for participation in any activities or facilities, please contact the West Fargo Park District at 433-5360.

participants, coaches, officials and parents.* If you have a question or comment, please follow

this order: 1) Ask coach or program instructor 2) Ask umpire, instructor or coordinator 3) Ask the recreation manager at the park office or call 433-5360.* Place emotional and physical well being
