Various Parks & Rec Fees Increase on July 1, 2026

Starting July 1, 2026, fees across a variety of Parks & Recreation services and programs will increase to reflect increased operational expenses and decreased city general funding. The upcoming fee changes were adopted during the fiscal year 2027 municipal budget process. The last significant increase to Parks & Recreation fees was in 2021.
