You know your child best! These are minimum age restrictions/privileges, but your child may need more supervision or adult support. Age restrictions are developed through review of industry best practices and guiding documents for each service area. All recreation center visitors are responsible for knowing and following the Recreation Facility Rules, and ensuring that any minors they are responsible for do the same.

Chaperones are youth and adults ages 16 or older and close enough to talk directly with the child being supervised. Chaperones must pay daily admission fee or use their recreation pass for entry.
