HIGHLANDS PARK AQUATIC CENTER RE-OPENING PROCEDURE 
In an effort to ensure the safety and security of everyone, all participants in the Monday-Saturday swim lessons, adult swim, and toddler swim are asked to gather their belongings and exit the facility before the facility reopens for regular hours of operation. Any participant that paid a daily admission in the morning session that wishes to return, may re-enter through the pass holder line. Your understanding is appreciated.

FAMILY GUEST PASS
Parks and Recreation has worked hard to make season passes very affordable for families, now each household can also purchase up to two additional Family Guest Passes. Use them for any two guests once per day throughout the season. The primary household is responsible for the conduct of their guests while in the facility.
