2021 Spring and Summer Activities Guide Update
The Spring and Summer Activities Guide is printed and will be out for delivery soon to resident homes. The guide’s availability is delayed this year due to discussions with the solicitor’s office and revisions needed to Township waivers and collection process, including the Township Liability Waiver and Release and a Township COVID 19 Assumption of Risk and Release. This year, each program participant, pool member, and pool guest will have to sign a COVID waiver, in addition to the Township’s general liability waiver. Below is how each type of participant will be addressed:
Program Participant:
Each participant will need to complete a Township Liability Waiver and Release and a Township COVID 19 Assumption of Risk and Release. Parents/Guardians must sign on behalf of all minor participants.
For example, if a family with three children registers their children for two activities each, the family will need to complete three liability waivers and three COVID waivers, one for each child. The waivers must be signed by the parent and guardian for the child to participate in the program.
Pool Member:
Each member will need to sign a Township Liability Waiver and Release and a Township COVID 19 Assumption of Risk and Release
For example, all members on a family membership will need to sign one liability form and one COVID waiver. The pool waivers have multiple lines so that a family membership can sign one form. Parents/Guardians must sign on behalf of all minor members.
Pools are tentatively slated to open on June 26, 2021!
Pool Guest:
Each pool guest will need to sign a Township Liability Waiver and Release and a Township COVID 19 Assumption of Risk and Release before EVERY visit.
Forms must be completed by the parent/guardian of any minor guests.
For example, if the Smith Family brings two guests age 14, Jim and John, Jim and John will need to bring or have submitted the Township Liability Waiver and Release and a Township COVID 19 Assumption of Risk and Release. This is because Jim and John are minors and their parent/guardian must sign on their behalf.
Unfortunately, the existing Parks and Recreation software does not allow for the waivers to be completed at the time of registration. Please go to www.abingtonpa.gov/PRWaivers, where you can submit the waivers online, or download and print PDFs to bring with them the first day of the program/visit to the pool. Forms will also be available the first day of programs and at the pool.
