Pool Memberships

In a continuing effort to streamline operations, summer 2000 pool memberships have been available as of January 3, 2000.  Purchase your pool membership prior to May 1, 2000 to save money..

If you have purchased a pool membership within the last two years, take advantage of mail-in registration. Simply drop the Parks and Recreation Department a note stating that you wish to purchase your pool membership and include the names of each member of your family (must all reside at the same address) and the fee.  Park permits will also be mailed to you, so please include the license plate number of each vehicle (must be registered to the same address and must be on file in our office). If you have purchased a new vehicle, please send a copy of the registration and it will be included in your file.

Unfortunately, new residents cannot take advantage of mail-in. However, if  there is a problem getting to the office, please call for special arrangements.

Membership cards for each member of the family, and park permits for each vehicle will be mailed within five working days. Membership cards must be shown to gain admittance to swim areas, and the park permit must be displayed on the passenger side of the front windshield.

If a member fails to show a card, the daily user fee will be charged. This is non-refundable. Replacement of a lost card will be $1.00 per card. Multiple families living in one household must pay per family.
