Many non-park district residents or non-members use local recreation services but make no tax or membership contribution to help support the operations. Therefore, it is not equitable for these participants to enjoy the parks, facilities, or services that residents and members are either taxed on or pay a membership fee to maintain and operate.

• Registration Fee: All direct and indirect costs of a program.
• Resident: Anyone within the geographic boundaries of the Princeton Park District.
• Non-Resident: Anyone living outside of the Princeton Park District taxing district.
• Member: Anyone who has a valid membership with the BCMC.

In our publications, you will see that most of our programs and classes will list three prices. The first being the BCMC member fee, the second being the non-member resident fee, and the third being the non-member non-resident fee.

Residency within the Princeton Park District boundaries can be established by providing the following information at registration:

• A form of picture I.D. (driver’s license, school I.D., etc.)
• A current tax or utility bill showing your name and address or a valid voter registration card.
