Harrisonville park board raises pool-pass prices, adjusts unaccompanied-swimmer age
Summary
The city’s Park Board raised pool-pass rates and changed the minimum age for unaccompanied pool entry to 13; board members said prices had not changed since 2019 and increases reflect operating costs.
During the Board of Aldermen meeting, Alderman Franklin reported actions taken by the Park Board that will raise pool-pass prices and change the minimum unaccompanied‑swimmer age. The Park Board approved new pricing that increases adult passes from $100 to $125, senior and youth passes from $80 to $100, and the family package from $175 to $220. The board also raised the minimum age at which a swimmer may enter the pool unaccompanied to 13. Franklin said the age threshold had not changed since 2023 and that pool-pass prices had not changed since February 2019; increases reflect operating-cost pressures including supplies and maintenance.
Nut graf: the Park Board’s adjustments aim to align revenue with rising operating costs and to update safety/age rules; Alderman Franklin provided membership figures (2,760 total memberships; 5,055 community center members) to indicate participation levels.
Franklin said after recruiting and discount adjustments, membership totals were 2,760 for pool memberships and 5,055 community center members. The board also increased after-hours rental fees; details will be provided in packet materials when next year’s passes are sold. No formal action by the Board of Aldermen was recorded on these changes during the meeting; the report was delivered as an aldermanic committee update.
