Pool Rental

We have two options for people who wish to host a party at our pools. If you would like to host a private party, both of our swimming pools are available to rent outside of our normal operating hours. If you would prefer a time that is during our normal pool hours, you may request a group use permit. All groups using the pool must follow our Group Use Policy found at the back of this document.

Group Use Permit

Valid recreation tag holders may host a party at the pool during normal pool hours by obtaining a Group Use Permit. Any groups of 10 or more people are required to obtain a group use permit prior to their event. Requests for permits may be made in person at the pools or the recreation center. You may also contact the aquatics supervisor, Chris Donnelly, by phone (251‐9814 x120) or by email. There is no fee for a group use permit, but they will be limited so it is recommended you obtain one at least 2 weeks prior to your event. Any party guests who do not have pool tags will need to pay the applicable guest fees before being admitted into the pool area. If you plan to pay for your guests please do so before they arrive, as they will not be allowed into the pool area until they have been paid for. Furniture and seating areas at the pool are available on a first come first serve basis, we do not reserve them.

Private Rental

Our Pools are available for private party rentals as well. Pools may be reserved outside of normal pool hours by recreation tag holders. Pool rentals are limited to a maximum of 100 guests (This includes everyone in the pool area including those who are not swimming). Pool rentals must observe all pool rules and regulations as well as the group use policy outlined below. Costs for pool rentals are by the hour, and there is also a $100 refundable cleanup deposit. The costs for pool rentals are shown in the table below.

 For information regarding pool availability please contact the Recreation Center (251‐9814) or check the schedule on ActiveNet.
