Committee recommends modest 2026 fee increases for Centennial Park Aquatic Center
Summary
The Committee recommended raising Centennial Park Aquatic Center membership, daily admission, and guest pass fees for the 2026 season to offset rising wages and operating costs; trustees approved the recommendation on roll call.
The Committee of the Whole recommended the Village Board approve increases to Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) membership, daily admission and guest pass fees for the 2026 season. The motion, moved by Trustee Lawler, was seconded and passed on a roll call vote.
Staff said the last membership increases were noted in 2023 and that prior summer attendance exceeded 87,000 visits; continuing wage increases and higher operating costs prompted proposals for modest fee adjustments. Staff said the increases are in line with comparable pools and intended to help cover anticipated higher seasonal costs.
Nut graf: Trustees asked a few clarifying questions but described the adjustments as modest and appropriate to offset labor and supply cost increases.
Ending: The recommendation will go to the full Village Board for final approval ahead of the 2026 season.
