Proof of residency is required for resident pricing. If you have questions regarding memberships prior to visiting us, please call us at 630.960.7462 Monday to Friday from 5AM to 9PM and Saturday and Sunday from 7AM-6PM.

Membership Residency

To qualify for residency benefits, please provide the necessary documentation when purchasing memberships either in-person or through our online application. By presenting the required documentation, you can ensure a smooth process when purchasing your membership.

Documentation Requirements: Valid current driver's license, official signed lease which clearly states the lease dates and all names of all parties requesting residency, current utility bills reflecting names and address (Electric, Gas, Refuse).

Verification Process:   To verify Downers Grove residency, we rely on information from the DuPage County Assessor's Office. By checking ownership and tax allocations to the Downers Grove Park District, we can determine eligibility. If your address does not contribute taxes to the Downers Grove Park District, you will be offered a non-resident membership.

Payment Plan Option

If you choose the convenient payment plan option, the first month payment will be prorated from the date of sign-up to the date of the first monthly billing and will be due at the time of purchase. Payment plans are required to have an automatic withdrawal from a checking, savings or credit card to qualify. Memberships will remain active until a 30-day written notice of cancellation has been made to the Downers Grove Park District. Please contact the registration desk for complete details on membership types. Prices are subject to change. We reserve the right to cancel or change membership options.

Membership Add-On

If you have a membership and would like to add a family member who resides in your household, please visit us in person during our hours of operation or complete the 4500 Fitness Application. All members 18 years and older are subject to proof of residency and must be present to sign waiver.

If you would like to purchase a Gold Pass Add-on to add unlimited Group Exercise Classes to your existing membership, send an email to our Fitness Registration Staff at FitDesk@dgparks.org  or call 630.960.7462. You can also stop by the Fitness Desk when you're in the facility.
