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.

Business Rate for Recreation Programs
We are proud to make programs and services available to people who work in Shaker Heights at resident prices.
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.

Rentals and Facilities
The City offers residents several facilities for hosting parties, meetings, and events. Rates vary and some
restrictions apply. Review the Facility Reservations, Rentals, and Block Parties section at shakeronline.com to
determine which facility best meets your needs and to learn more about reserving/renting the space. Please note
that special events, including parades, races, and festivals require permission from the City. Visit the Special
Events Guidelines section at shakeronline.com for an application and details.

The Recreation brochure is distributed free to residents of the Shaker Heights City School District; however, extra
copies are available at Thornton Park, the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Community Building, and City Hall, Shaker
Heights Main Library, and Bertram Woods branch. Program information in this brochure is accurate at press time.
However, please call ahead to confirm.
