Resident ID Required

The FREE Resident ID Card is required for children under age 16 for daily admission. To ensure residency privileges are not abused, all patrons paying for a daily visit to the Water Park or Recreation Center must prove their residency within the Tinley Park-Park District boundaries to receive the discounted resident rate. Children show this card at the Water Park gate or Recreation Center front desk and pay the resident’s daily fee. Report cards and school IDs do not prove residency.Those aged 16 and older use their Driver’s License for identification.

A parent must accompany their child(ren) age 15 and younger to the Recreation Center front desk to obtain the Resident ID Card.

PLEASE NOTE: Village/Corporate rates refer to those living within the boundaries of the Village of Tinley Park but outside the boundaries of the Tinley Park-Park District. Proof of residency and/or employment (current check stub) is required.
