Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Withdrawal and refund requests must be made to the facility sponsoring the activity.
All withdrawals from recreation activities are subject to a withdrawal fee. A withdrawal fee of $10 will be charged for each registration under $100. A withdrawal fee of $25 will be charged for each registration $100 and higher.
A refund will be issued minus the withdrawal fee when requested at least seven (7) or more calendar days prior to the first activity meeting.
When a refund is requested six (6) or fewer calendar days prior to the first activity meeting or once a class or activity has started, a refund shall be issued ONLY if:
- You move out of town.
- You are medically unable to participate.
- Department action requires cancellation of the activity (no withdrawal fee will be charged).
Refunds will be prorated for classes already attended.
No refund will be issued if you fail to show up for a registered activity, class, or trip. No refund will be given for athletic league fees and trips that require prepayment of advanced reservation tickets or admission fees.
Some activities require a non-refundable registration fee.
Surcharge for Non-City Residents
Non-city residents are assessed a 20 percent surcharge for registered activities and rentals.

COVID-19 Protocols
Eugene Rec’s first priority is the safety of our patrons while taking a class or spending time at any of our facilities. All City of Eugene staff are working together to safely host community members.
Our protocols follow City, county and state guidelines, and best practices from the CDC, the Oregon Health Authority and Lane County Public Health.
These are subject to change, so our protocols may be revised as new guidelines are provided. Please contact the host recreation center or pool directly for specific requirements for each activity.
Individuals who are COVID-19 positive should remain home for at least 5 days and until they are symptom-free for 24 hours in accordance with public health guidelines.
