North Liberty Community Center Unattended Child Policy
Children are welcome at the North Liberty Community Center which includes the Library, Telecommunications, and Recreation Departments. We try to provide an environment/place for ALL to enjoy. Patron safety and welfare are major concerns and that is why we have established an unattended child policy and have established patron discipline policies as well.

Residents vs. Non-Residents
Through their property taxes, City of North Liberty residents make a significant financial contribution to the North Liberty Community Center. The non-resident concept is intended to equalize fees to our non-resident participants so they contribute to the overall financing of the department on an equitable basis with our residents. Non-residents pay $5 more than residents on most programs and rentals. Non-resident pool passes also cost more than resident pool passes. Residents are those who reside in the 52317 zip code (PO boxes are not valid).Please be prepared to show proof of current identification/residency when registering for programs and obtaining memberships.
Expulsion from the Premises
The North Liberty Recreation Center Staff reserves the right to dismiss anyone from a program or the facility without a refund, who in the opinion of the management is disorderly and disruptive.
