Movie in the Park
Monday, August 24th at 7:00PM
Location: Van Buren Park Lodge: 2607 Connors Road, Baldwinsville
Tobacco-Free CNY, Reality Check, and the Town of Van Buren are hosting an outdoor movie showing of “Luca”, free to the community!
Local Reality Check youth will be hosting a smoke-free movie event, where they will highlight what they do as a program and how seeing smoking on screen is dangerous for youth.
There will be free popcorn, snacks, and drinks and free admission. It will take place outside of the Lodge at Van Buren Park, so please bring chairs or blankets for seating at the event.
Registration Information
Before you can register for any program you must create a new user account to register for an account through our online platform, Civic Rec. The Parent/Guardian must establish an account first. You must complete all questions, in order to be registered. You may add additional household members for anyone that may also want to register for classes, activities or memberships.
To register, for any of the programs, please download a registration form (under the form link) and mail it, fax it or drop it off.
Registration Procedure For Programs
Please do not wait to register for a program! There is a point – usually 5 business days prior to start date – when we need to make a decision whether to cancel a program due to lack of participation. Invariably, we get many telephone inquiries on a program after we’ve cancelled it!
Registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and are accepted:
– Until the business day prior to the program start date.
– By a specified registration deadline (will be listed with the program, if applicable), OR
– Until the program fills to capacity.
Fill out a registration form (one per person). These can either be downloaded from this website, or found in the Recreation Departments program brochures. Mail the form(s) with payment to the Parks and Recreation Department, or stop by during office hours (8:30am – 4:00pm | Monday-Friday).
Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check, or credit cards (with a minimal fee)! Please do not send cash through the mail. Completed registration form and payment must be received by this office prior to participation in a program.
**Due to budgetary and time constraints, you will NOT be sent a confirmation of your registration, OR be contacted by telephone! You will ONLY be contacted if we are unable to fit you into the program requested, or in the event of a program cancellation. So, if you do not hear from us, simply report to the program the first day it meets. You are certainly welcome to contact this office to check on any registrations.**
Make A Suggestion
Most of the activities listed in our brochure are the result of interest on the part of an individual or group of people. If you would like our department to expand on any existing programs or create new ones, we would welcome your suggestions! Either mail or email your ideas, call us, or visit the Parks & Recreation office during business hours. We’d love to hear from you!
