Electronic Personal Assistance Mobility Device Policy

 
Purpose

The 快播视频 is dedicated to providing all of its guests with equal enjoyment of the wonderful experiences offered by its parks. The 快播视频 (鈥渢he Park District鈥) has taken into consideration the use of other power-driven mobility devices in accordance with 28 Code of Federal Regulations Section 35.104 and factors such as impacts on other users, the safety of other users, impacts on property and infrastructure, and the noise level of such devices. The Park District has determined that it will permit the use of electronic personal assistance mobility devices, as defined below, at parks on hard surface trails and at outdoor recreation facilities and has developed this policy described below.

The Park District reserves the right to change, modify or amend this policy at any time, as it deems appropriate. 


Definition of Electronic Personal Assistance Mobility Device (EPAMD)

An electronic personal assistance mobility device (EPAMD) is a device used by a person with a mobility disability. This definition does not include gasoline-powered devices or vehicles, golf carts, or riding lawn mowers.

This definition is restricted to a device with the following specifications:


Use of EPAMDs on Park District Property

In order to maintain a safe pedestrian environment and the desired pace and flow of visitor traffic, the Park District authorizes persons with mobility impairments to use EPAMDs on Park District hard surface trails and at outdoor recreation facilities, subject to the following restrictions:

The Park District does not recognize the use of Segways庐 as an appropriate device for use inside Park District facilities because the congestion of foot traffic within the facility may create a hazardous environment, and due to the manufacturer鈥檚 recommendation for helmet and protective equipment for riders, much like bicycles, skateboards and rollerblades.

Grilling in the Parks

Before heading to a park to enjoy the joys of outdoor cooking with your family and friends, review the Grilling in the Parks guidelines and best practices to protect our outdoor green spaces and wildlife.

Follow these guidelines to help keep Chicago's parks clean and safe for everyone to enjoy: 

  • Use of an enclosed metal containers are required.
  • Only grill in .
  • Grill away from trees.
  • Open fire pits and bonfires are not allowed in any parks.
  • Hot coals must be doused with water, and ashes and coals must be properly disposed of in red used-coal receptacles. This is to minimize the risk of fires and the impact on trees and park wildlife. Red metal cans are available at most approved grilling areas. Do not dump coals at the foot of trees. This will kill trees.

Medical-Related Policies

 

Anaphylaxis Policy

Anaphylaxis is a potentially life-threatening medical condition occurring in allergic individuals after exposure to their specific allergens.  It may also occur in children or adults not previously known to be allergic or hypersensitive.  It is one of the most serious emergency situations to which district staff may have to respond.  The reaction ranges from mild, self-limited symptoms to rapid death.  Immediate action is required.

The 快播视频 conducts staff education as to the signs and symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction. Education is patron and park-based.

In order for park staff to administer Epinephrine (Epi-Pen) if needed to a child enrolled in a park program, the following two forms must be completed and returned to the park supervisor (of the park where the program takes place).  Both completed forms must be received by the park supervisor before a request for the emergency administration of Epinephrine (Epi-Pen) can be approved.  If the child is registered for programs at multiple parks, these forms must be submitted to all parks.

Other Policies

 

Gender Diversity Policy 

The 快播视频 plays an important role in creating and sustaining safe, supportive and inclusive environments for youth, patrons, and employees. We support the members of the transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming community.  This policy is intended to address the needs and concerns of transgender, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming employees while at work, and patrons while they are participating in Park District activities, events, or programs. The Park District recognizes that this policy will not anticipate every situation that patrons and employees may encounter, but the goal is to create an environment in which patrons and employees are able to identify and express their gender so they may have safe and welcoming experiences at the Park District.

 

Travel Policy for Program Participants
