Information regarding COVID-19 pertaining to
Parks and Recreation Services and Programs
We continue to ensure that the staff and participant’s safety is of utmost
importance to us. Our recreation programs and events offer children
and adults the opportunity to participate in fun and enriching activities
that is much needed during this unprecedented time. We will be taking
the following measures to mitigate the concerns and spread of COVID-
19 in our programs and community.
Staff will be required to report any indicated symptoms to their direct supervisor.
Staff will be required to wear a mask when in enclosed spaces.
In addition to the annual staff training that takes place, staff will be trained in the appropriate
safety actions listed below:
Personal Protective equipment
Proper cleaning and disinfecting parks and recreation facilities and equipment
Staff will be trained to instruct participants on proper handwashing and sanitization
techniques.
Program Modifications:
Smaller program sizes or groups within each program.
Modification of program spaces, location, storage and materials.
Frequent disinfecting of program supplies.
Restrictions on available equipment that cannot be easily disinfected.
Games/Activities that promote physical distancing.
Hand sanitizer available to all participants and staff.
Program participants, ages 5 and older, will be required to wear a face covering when
participating in our programs in enclosed spaces
We ask that anyone exhibiting the following symptoms not attend a program or event:
Fever of 100 degrees or above Diarrhea
Cough or respiratory issues Sore throat
Shortness of Breath Nausea/vomiting
Congestion or runny nose Chills
Fatigue Muscle/body aches
Headache New loss of taste/smell
We remain vigilant about the safety protocols that protect our staff and guests and will continue to
put the safety of our staff and guests at the forefront of our decisions. We hope to be able to offer
all the programs, events and services listed in this guide. Please watch our Facebook page (Menasha
Recreation and Pool) or the City’s website for further updates. As the COVID-19 Pandemic response
changes, so may our responses. If at any time you have questions about these or other program
policies, please contact our office at 920.967.3640 or email me at msackett@ci.menasha.wi.us. Full
refunds will be given if the City of Menasha cancels your shelter reservation or recreation program/
event.

3 WAYS TO REGISTER
Registration Information
Drop Off your completed registration form and payment in the Parks and Recreation Department, Menasha City Center,
Second Floor, or use the black drop box in City Hall’s Parking Lot on Main St.
Mail your completed registration form and payment to City of Menasha Parks and Recreation, 100 Main Street Ste. 200,
Menasha, WI 54952. Checks should be made payable to City of Menasha Confirmation will be e-mailed, be sure to
include email address on the form.
Online registration at http://menasha.recdesk.com. Credit/debit cards are accepted online. There is a small service
charge for using this form of payment.
Participants new to the City of Menasha will need to create an account at the website listed above. You will not be
able to register for any activities until your account has been approved by office staff. Once approved, you will receive a
confirmation email. Then you may log in using the account information you provided.
PROGRAM FEE RECIPROCITY
Recreation Program Fee Reciprocity: The City of Menasha offers recreation program fee reciprocity with the cities of
Appleton and Neenah and the Village of Fox Crossing. This also means that city residents may sign up for programs and
receive services in these communities at their resident rates. This is a fee only agreement. Each municipality may
establish a separate registration period or policies for its own residents. Residents of these communities pay the lower
Resident Rates on City of Menasha programs For further information regarding programs in the other municipalities, call
the Park and Recreation offices of Appleton (920-832-5910), Neenah (920-886-6060) or Fox Crossing (920-720-7108).
OTHER REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Visit our website (www.cityofmenasha-wi.gov) for more information about programs, parks, jobs, etc.
Child’s grade in the Fall of 2020 should be used when registering
Make checks payable to the City of Menasha
Telephone registration is not accepted
Program cancellations and other announcements can be accessed by calling our Program Cancellation Line at (920)
967-3657 or visit our Facebook page: Menasha Recreation and Pool
Register early! Nothing kills a recreation program faster than residents who wait until the last minute to
register. There is a point when a program must be cancelled or modified if there is insufficient registration. All
programs require a high level of coordination, often including facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment
and purchasing supplies.
Do I pay resident or non-resident fees? If you pay your residential property taxes to the City of Menasha,
you are considered a resident. Under reciprocity agreements, if you pay your residential property taxes to the City
of Appleton, City of Neenah or Village of Fox Crossing, you will receive the resident rate for programs (Fox Crossing
residents pay the NON-RESIDENT rate for swim lessons and pool passes). Any taxing municipality outside the Cities
of Menasha, Appleton, Neenah and Village of Fox Crossing is a non-resident. Unfortunately, living in one of these
school districts or having a Menasha, Appleton or Neenah address does not necessarily mean you are eligible for
the resident rate. Non-residents pay higher fees because a portion of the municipality’s property taxes is
designated to pay for the buildings, parks, instructors and administration or recreation services.
Inadvertent overpayments are place on the payee’s registration account.
In an effort to better promote a positive learning environment for programs, only registered participants are
permitted in the program area. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss participant’s progress with
parents after class.
Say Cheese! Our Recreation Department periodically takes pictures of participants in our classes, during
special events, and in the City parks. Please be aware that these photos are for recreational use and may be used in
the City of Menasha’s brochures, flyers, or website. You must give us written notice if you or your family members
do not want to be photographed or published.
Refunds: Will be given when the department cancels a class or makes a change in the class schedule that no
longer fits the participant’s needs. A credit on account may also be issued. A refund can be granted when a
medical excuse is provided through the first 25% of a program.

Oshkosh. I have had the opportunity to teach various age groups in the
Oshkosh, Neenah and Hortonville school districts.

child take on this challenge and see them grow.

Meet your instructor: My name is Chloe Hansen-Dunn. A little bit about me...I
earned my Masters in Public Health with a focus in Parks and Recreation. I am
going into my second year with the City of Menasha as the Senior Activity
Coordinator and a Program Lead (you may also know me from the Tiny Tots or
Fables to Tables programs). I grew up in Sparta, WI and married my
wonderful husband two years ago. We are parents to a cat (Wisteria) and dog
(Oliver), enjoy the outdoors and are avid board game players. I have been
coaching both recreational and competitive gymnastics for over 10 years and
have experience with all ages. I love coaching gymnastics, as it truly is a sport
where each athlete will take away something unique from every practice. Set
aside the improvement on strength, balance, and skill- it’s the gymnast’s
growth in their confidence and grit that’s so energizing to me!
