How does Action Park work?
It is a Town of Fuquay-Varina program, so you register through the Town. In the Town’s words: “When registering for the 1-day class option, you must choose the day of the week that you plan to attend. Big NC guarantees that at least 80% of scheduled classes will be held. Make-up sessions are available all season long during alternative days that the class is offered.”
