1. What is a Senior Partner Pass?

The Senior Partner Pass is a second, discounted Senior Membership Card that is sent to the address of the person buying the full-price Senior Individual Membership. Because of the discounted nature, the Senior Partner Pass includes the single benefit of day-use parking only. The Senior Partner, as in all other Memberships, must be a named individual. A Senior Partner Pass can only be purchased with a Senior Individual Membership or Senior Angler Membership - it cannot be purchased by itself. 


2. What is an Angler Membership?
An Angler Membership is a combination of an Individual Membership, an Annual Park District Fishing Permit, and an Annual Park District Boat Launching Permit. It includes all of the benefits of Basic Membership.

 


3. My spouse has an Individual Membership. Does this mean that I can use his/her parking placard in order to bypass the parking fee?
No. Only the named individual on the Membership can use the Membership benefits, such as using the day-use parking placard to bypass the day-use parking fee.

5. If I buy an additional Dog Pass, does that mean that I can only bring one dog into a Regional Park?
No. The standard benefits of all Membership packages include one Dog Pass. If you purchase one additional Dog Pass, you will be allowed to bring two dogs into the Regional Park. If you have three dogs you would like to bring into the park, you would purchase a Membership and two Additional Dog Passes.
