Approval of 2025 Updated Pool Pass Prices
Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to approve updated prices for Fargo Park District pool facilities.
Proposed pool prices were originally presented at the June 2024 Fargo Park Board meeting and received final approval by board commissioners at the August 2024 board meeting.
In response to extensive community feedback, Fargo Park District staff reevaluated pool pass prices, which were first discussed at the February Planning Committee meeting. Commissioners agreed to bring proposed prices to the March Board Meeting for final vote.
Updated prices include:
-
Reduced pricing for youth, family and adult season passes at Roger G. Gress, Southwest, Davies and Island Park Aquatic facilities.
-
Reduced pricing for all-inclusive 5-for-1 season pass, which grants access to all five Fargo Park District outdoor pools.
-
Introduction of a new 4-for-1 season pass, which grants access to all pool except the new Island Park Pool facility.
