information will need to be updated. For corporations and large businesses with offices/storefronts in Shaker Heights,
employees must work at the Shaker location. Services include pool and rink passes, all recreation programs and facility
rentals and pavilion reservations. Some programs have limitations on the number of registrants and early registration is
encouraged. All program cancellation and withdrawal rules apply regardless of residency.
