                      Lynn Ruffner Recreation for Youth Scholarship Fund
                      Did you know the City of Shaker Heights offers annual Youth Scholarships through the Recreation Department?
                      Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and can be applied to our summer programs or camps. Applications for
                      scholarships are available at Thornton Park after Feb. 3, 2020. To make a donation, please call Cydney Johnson: 216-491-2580.

                      Business Rate for Recreation Programs
                      We are proud to make programs and services available at resident prices to people who work in Shaker Heights. The first
                      time a Shaker business owner or employee registers or places a reservation they will need to do so in person at Thornton
                      Park (3301 Warrensville Center Road) during regular business hours. Proof of employment or ownership is required.
                      This can be a pay stub, a business card, or letter from the Human Resources Department of the business. Each year this
                      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.
