The City and Borough of Juneau Aquatics Division has restructured admission fees to the Augustus Brown Pool and the Dimond Park Aquatic Center, which go into effect July 1.
Pool rates haven’t changed since 2016. The Day Pass rates will remain the same. The rest of the rates will increase between 4 and 10 percent. The Aquatics Board approved the restructured fees in January and the Juneau Assembly approved them at its May 13 meeting.
To provide feedback on this issue or any other pool issue, please take this survey on the pools: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZRZVCSM

Due to heavy demand, the Parks and Recreation Department has temporarily suspended sales of parking permits for both the Marine Parking Garage and the Downtown Transportation Center Parking Garage. Parks and Recreation has started a waitlist for parking permits, and additional capacity should be available at both facilities later this month.
Hourly or daily parking is available in the North Franklin Parking lot, the Shopper’s Parking lot and in spaces 5-25 of the Marine Parking Garage. The cost to park in these locations is 75¢ an hour, or $5 per day.
If you’d like to be added to the waitlist for a parking permit at one of the downtown parking garages, or if you’d like more information about parking, please contact Parks and Recreation at (907) 586-5226 Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You can also send an email to [email protected].
