Frequently Asked Questions

To keep our facilities running strong and our services high-quality, we need to better align pricing with actual usage and costs. The new structure gives you more choice, more flexibility and a fairer system for everyone.

You’ve got options! You can:

  • Combine individual facility memberships
  • Choose the Rec Plus membership for unlimited access
  • Use 10-packs or drop-in rates for occasional visits

Current monthly passes will transition to Rec Center memberships once we make the switch on Nov. 14, 2025. If you have monthly billing set up, you will need to re-enroll. All existing annual passes will continue to provide access through their expiration date, and current annual memberships are grandfathered into the new system as Rec Plus memberships. When it's time to renew, you will have a choice from the options above.

If you’ve qualified before and your circumstances haven’t changed, you’ll continue to qualify in 2026. New applicants can apply online or in person. We’re also working on a process for those who may not meet traditional criteria but still need support.

To ensure fair access and reduce overbooking, court reservations will now be available for a flat $10/hour. Walk-on play remains free when courts aren’t reserved.

More information: Court System Plan

Household memberships now include up to 4 people at the same address, but you can add more people at a discounted rate.

It depends on how often you visit and which facilities you use. Here’s a quick guide:

  • One to two visits per week: Consider a 10-pack or per-facility membership.
  • More than two visits per week at multiple locations: Rec Plus is your best bet.
  • Seasonal use: Try an Outdoor Pool or Reservoir Membership.
