A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
FROM THE TEAM AT AUBURN RECREATION
WELCOME BACK! As things slowly start to open back up, we have never been more
excited to see a packed parking lot, kids bouncing basketballs in the hallways, and our favorite
seniors popping in to say “hi” and chat for a few minutes. To say we have missed you would be an
understatement!
We’ve all learned and grown over this past year, as individuals and as a community. To say Auburn is
the BEST doesn’t even come close to describing the generosity, concern, connections and spirit of
willingness we have witnessed since March 2020. We continue to evolve and adjust to the world
around us and we strive to keep up with new developments with the ever-changing COVID-19
pandemic. We have changed up some of our favorite programs and added new ones in response to
our community’s more pressing needs.
You will see some changes within our programs, including a NEW REGISTRATION SYSTEM! Take a
look at page 3 for information on how this will impact you and the online registration process.
As you browse through this Summer Brochure, please keep in mind that all our facilities, programs,
and policies are subject to change as a result of COVID-19 and Maine CDC guidelines. Many of
the programs listed here are already open for registration, so please give us a call or log onto your
Team Sideline account for info & updates.
WHAT TO KNOW WHEN VISITING OUR FACILITIES
• Do not come to an Auburn Recreation facility if you feel sick or have had any symptoms of
COVID-19 in the past 3 days.
• Maintain at least 6’ of physical distance from others
• Face coverings are required upon entering facility

• There will be no lingering in common areas

We understand and respect that not everyone is comfortable participating in programs right now, and
we will continue to work with you to manage refund requests. As always, we encourage participants to
check with a medical professional before engaging in any recreation programming.
Thank you for your patience, vigilance, support and positive feedback. See you soon!

Pettengill Park Road] OR online at www.auburnmaineg.gov
Registration Process: Pre-registration and pre-payment
are required for all classes. Programs registrations are
accepted in person, mail, online, or over the phone.
Payment is expected prior to the start of the first class date.
Individuals may register their own family and one other
family for programs unless we have specified otherwise.
Payment: Full payment is required at the time of
registration for classes $40 and under. For programs $41 -
$100, a minimum of 50% payment at the time of registration
is required along with a signed payment plan. For programs
$101 or more there is a minimum $50 payment at the time
of registration required along with a signed payment plan.
Payment Plan Policy: Payment Plans are available for
programs $40 or more. These are 90 day payment plans
and can only be set up in person, in the office. When an
account with an outstanding balance doesn’t show any
payment past 90 days, it will be sent to collections. If you
are on a payment plan and stop/miss a payment without
communicating with us, we may deny or remove the
participant from the activity. If you are on a payment plan
and would like to register for a new program, your balance
must be under $200 before registration and new payment
plan can occur.
Non-Residents: Participants who do not live in Auburn
must pay an additional fee of $10 per class. This includes
senior citizen non-residents, unless otherwise specified.
Confirmations: We do not send course confirmations or
reminders of enrollment. If you register for a program and
do not receive a call from us, you have been accepted into
the class and are responsible for knowing class dates,
times, and location.
Refunds: If we cancel a class or special event, all fees will
be refunded. If you withdraw 3 business days before the
first class or one time event (excluding weekends &
holidays), you will receive a full refund. If you withdraw
fewer than 3 business days before the first class or one
time event, you will receive a 50% refund. No refunds will
be given if you cancel after the class or the one time event
has taken place. If you are dissatisfied with a program after
the first class of a session, you must let us know before the
second class of the session. We will issue a 50% refund at
this time. No refunds will be given after the second class of
a session. Refunds take about 14-21 days to process. We
do not provide cash refunds. If injury occurs to a participant
that prevents the participant from continuing in a class, you
may request a pro-rated refund of the activity fee.
Trip Refund: If Auburn Recreation cancels a trip we will
refund all fees to the participant. If the participant notifies us
3 or more business days before the scheduled trip we will
issue a full refund unless otherwise noted in the brochure. If
the participant notifies us fewer than 3 business days before
the scheduled trip we will issue a 50% refund. No refunds
will be given the day of the trip or after the trip is held.
Inclusion: Auburn Recreation provides reasonable
accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities. In
order to accommodate your needs a request must be made
at least 10 days prior to the first day of the program.
Diversity and Equity: Auburn Recreation is committed to
fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity,
equity and inclusion. We embrace and encourage our
employees’ and participants differences in age, color,
disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity
or expression, language, national origin, physical and
mental ability, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran
status, and other characteristics that make our employees
and participants unique.
Discounts: Auburn Recreation does NOT offer a senior
discount, sibling discount, or family discount for classes as
we attempt to make the classes as low and affordable as
possible.

The PAL afterschool program is designed as a safe and fun place for neighborhood kids to drop by
Monday – Friday from 3:00pm-6:00pm during the school year. Volunteers and local organizations
work with the PAL Coordinator and staff to offer a variety of programs, such as:
Homework Help, afterschool healthy snacks, soccer, photography, crafts and games, gardening and
canning, holiday and seasonal events & much more!
To learn more or to support the PAL program please contact PAL Coordinator Shawn Boyd at:
[email protected] or by calling 207.333.6650 X2041.
The Police Activities League (PAL) was created in 2013 to help provide positive, horizon-broadening experiences
for at-risk youth in our city. The PAL Center provides educational and athletic activities for kids after school
and during the summer, not to mention positive interaction with police officers.
Grab n’ Go Grocery Program
Created in March of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the
Grab n’ Go program was designed to assist Auburn residents who
faced with food insecurity. As the program evolved, the PAL Center
became the heart of our GNG efforts. Currently this program supplies
a weekly box of groceries to households that qualify (based in
household income). If you or someone you know is in need of food
assistance, please reach out to Auburn Recreation staff at
[email protected] or 333-6611.
Sponsors, Partners and Donations
The PAL and GNG programs are perfect examples of how the Auburn Community steps up to help
their neighbors during hard times. The efforts and generosity both programs have experienced from
our Auburn family is truly amazing and deeply appreciated. It takes a vast amount of energy, time
and resources for these programs to operate, and we would not be able to continue to offer these
programs without the dedication of our community through partnerships, sponsors and donations. If
you are interested in finding out more information on ways to support these incredible community
programs, please contact Auburn Recreation, PAL or GNG staff.

To compliment the addition of this sculpture, the City of Auburn is also installing a piece called “The
Fish” in our beautiful new Anniversary Park (New Auburn). This larger-than-life-sized fish sculpture is
a creation of Maine artist Thomas Berger. This piece is on target to be installed by May/June, 2021.
