Can I bring pets into the park?
Pets are allowed in our parks. However, they must be leashed at all times (leash must be no more than a 6’ leash). We also ask that you pick up after your pet - we supply waste bags at the entrance of the Nature Park for your convenience.
When can I visit a park?
Our parks are open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year. Click here for a listing of our parks.
Is alcohol allowed on any of the Parks and Recreation premises?
By permit only, is alcohol allowed on any of the Parks and Recreation premises. Permits can be obtained at the Recreation Center in conjunction with a facility rental.
What are the hours of the Tennis Courts?
The Tennis Courts are open all year long, but are only open to those that have paid for a Tennis Membership. You do not have to have a Basic Membership to have a Tennis Pass. Due to the higher use during the summer, it is suggested that you make court reservations by calling 745-8592. The Tennis Courts are lit during the evening hours, but only until 11pm (all year round).
How do I know if a program or sport is rained out?
For programs that are hosted at the Recreation Center, such as swim lessons, please call the Recreation Center at 745-8550. For field sports that are hosted at the Recreation Center, please call the Recreation Center Field Conditions Hotline at 230-5799. For field sports that are hosted at the Sports Center, please call the Sports Center Field Conditions Hotline at 230-5162.
What is the refund policy?
Sorry, but there are no refunds on program or membership fees. We will be happy to credit your account which can be used for another program or towards membership fees.
Can I bring a guest into the facility?
Yes, however, there are a few “policies” associated with bringing a guest into the facility. Click here to see our policies on bringing guests into the facility.
What is the weather policy in regard to the pool?
Since our pool is located outdoors, we have a love/hate relationship with Mother Nature. Of course we want to keep the pool operating as much as possible, since we only get to enjoy it for roughly 3 months out of the year. But sometimes the weather gets a little too complicated for us to stay open. A general rule of thumb to follow is that if you’re in doubt, give us a call at 745-8550.
What kind programs do you offer?
We have many programs that are available all year long, for members and non-members alike. Click here for our latest program brochure.
At what age can my child come to the Recreation Center unsupervised?
Our age requirements can be a little tricky to understand. For your convenience, we’ve made a special chart that you can refer to that helps you (and us!) understand this policy a little clearer. Click here to see the chart (PDF).
Can I have a pool party when the pool is open?
We allow members to bring groups into the pool during normal operating hours, but the member must abide by the guest policies that are set-forth. We cannot “reserve” space for you on the pool deck, as our pool deck furniture is open to the public. We do however have a special party room that is available that connects to the pool deck. This makes is very convienient to hold a birthday party even if it gets "rained out". Contact us at 745-8550 to book the Cooper Room for your next birthday party!
What is “Adult Open Swim”?
Adult Open Swim is a time that allows adults to swim in the pool without the distraction of those under 18. Adult Open Swim is from the top of the hour to quarter past the hour. There are also 3 Adult Swim Lanes open to those 18 and older in the deep end. These lanes are open at all times.
Does the Recreation Center offer any kind of babysitting service?
If you would like to come and work out or take a tennis lesson but are unsure of what to do with your toddler or infant, we have a special service for you! Our Tot Room is open from 9am-1pm on Monday through Friday and is open for children ages 6-weeks to 9 years old. There is a minimal fee for the use of the Tot Room and you must be located on the Recreation Center property while your child is under the care of the Tot Room.

How do I make a reservation for the Racquetball Courts?
Reservations can be made up to 3 days in advance if you have purchased the Reservation Privilege for your membership (an add-on to your membership). If you don’t have the reservation privilege, that’s ok, you can simply go to the Front Desk for a walk-up rental provided the court is not booked by another member. Court fees of $2 per hour apply to all reservations.
