During the budget planning for 2019, the Metro District Board discussed charging residents for pool access. After hearing from the community, the Board decided not to charge daily use fees but asked staff and the community to find a solution to help offset some of the cost of operating the pools. Subsequently, staff solicited feedback via email and through various community meetings. Based on this feedback, the District will be implementing a pool access pass fee. This fee only needs to be paid once per year and gives you unlimited access to the pools all summer. You can purchase your pool pass starting April 1, and special bonus benefits will be offered in April. See details and prices at the link below.

Date: Saturday, March 23
Time: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Location: Ranch House
