Teutopolis For Tomorrow: Golf Cart Movie Night (signupgenius.com).  Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!


Water Fountain at Teutopolis Community Park

Please do not abuse the water fountain at the Teutopolis Community Park! Abuse broke the water fountain last year. It was unusable a large part of spring and summer while waiting on parts.

Please gently push the buttons with your hands. Do not hit the buttons hard or push them with something other than your hands (e.g. foot, bat). Please do not allow children to climb on, sit on, or stand on the water fountain. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!


Baseball and Softball - Rosters and Scheduled Practices

The rosters for baseball and softball have been posted on the web site.  Two practices have been scheduled for each team.  Two rain dates for practices have been scheduled for each league.  These have been finalized and are available on our web site.  To find a team's practices, click the "Schedules" menu option then, click "Schedules" from the drop down list.  Select the league from the "Division" dropdown list then, the team from the "Team" dropdown list.

There are 48 park district teams, 10 traveling teams, as well as Teutopolis High School's varsity and junior varsity teams using the park district's diamonds.  Scheduled practices ensure that each park district team has at least two opportunities to practice.  Park district coaches can schedule more practices, if they choose to do so.

Registrations - Please Pay Attention to the Grade Selected!

When registering your child for a Teutopolis Park District program, PLEASE pay attention to the grade you are selecting for your child!  The school year is on the online registration and on the registration form (e.g. "2023-2024 Grade", "2023-2024 School Year", etc.)!   Selecting the wrong grade can create a LOT of extra work for park district personnel.  
 
For example, a parent selects Grade 5 when registering his/her child online for the Baseball-Softball program.  The child is placed on a team in the Little League.  The rosters are published and the parent realizes that his/her child's classmates are on teams in the Khoury League.  The parent contacts the park district to move his/her child to the Khoury League.  This sounds simple but, it is definitely not.  The Program Director must find a place on a team in the correct league and, contact the new coach as well as the old coach.  He also must contact the Park Administrator who must update the rosters on the web site.  He also must contact the vendor to order a new shirt.  The situation can be further complicated if the parent is a coach or, now, the old team is short players or the new team is overcrowded.  Little things can make a big difference!

Tiered Fee

The Teutopolis Park District uses a tiered fee for most of its programs.  A guideline has been posted to the web site for determining the tier (and, therefore, the fee) that a registrant is eligible for.  Click on "Forms" then "Download Forms" in the dropdown menu.  Click the "Tiered Fee" link to view the document.


Thank You to Teutopolis State Bank !!! :)

The Teutopolis Park District would like to sincerely thank Teutopolis State Bank for their generous donation of the T-shirts for the 2024 park district programs!  Their continuing support through all the years is greatly appreciated!


Pavilion Reservation Requests

The Teutopolis Park District is now accepting requests for pavilion reservations online.  Pavilion availability also can be found online.  For details, please download "Pavilion Reservation Requests" (see the "Download Forms" menu option). 


Park Rules

Motorized vehicles, including golf carts, side-by-sides, and scooters, are NOT allowed on park grounds, except parking lots.

Pets must be kept on a leash and cleaned up after.

 

The Teutopolis Park District does not allow an individual or group to use its facilities for personal profit.  This includes, but is not limited to lessons, clinics, camps etc. held by an individual or group for a fee.

These rules apply to the Community Park, Mini-Park, and Church Diamond.  They have been established for the safety of and enjoyment of the parks by everyone.  Thank you for your cooperation!   :)
