The prices are now on paper for the single membership McKinney wants to offer at its three recreation centers.
When the idea went to the city's parks board in early October, the posted agenda item carried no rate table. The version headed to the City Council on Nov. 3 does.
A resolution attached to the item lists monthly, annual and day-pass prices for one all-access membership good at the Recreation Center at Towne Lake, Old Settlers Recreation Center and the Senior Recreation Center, taking effect Jan. 2, 2027.
Proposed all-access rates
Monthly, residents would pay:
- $17 for an adult, 18 to 59 ($28 for nonresidents)
- $27 for a family ($45)
- $11 for a senior 60 or older ($18)
- $11 for a youth, 3 to 17 ($18)
Annual memberships would run $163 for a resident adult, $261 for a family and $106 each for seniors and youth. Nonresidents would pay $269, $431 and $175.
Day passes would be $7 for a resident adult, $15 for a family and $3 for a senior or youth, compared with $12, $25 and $5 for nonresidents.
A cheaper option for seniors stays
The exhibit keeps a separate senior membership that is not all-access. Residents 50 to 59 would pay $30 a year and residents 60 and older $15 a year, with nonresidents at $50 and $25. Day passes under that option are $3 for residents and $5 for nonresidents.
Why the change
The staff summary from the Parks and Recreation Department says each center has developed its own rates, pass types, eligibility rules and benefits over time, leaving a structure that confuses both members and employees. Members have also asked to use their memberships at more than one building, it says.
The memo says the city has historically kept memberships low-cost to keep them accessible, and that the new rates are meant to stay accessible while better matching the price to access at three centers. The posted documents do not include the current rates, so they do not show how much any individual price would change.
Staff recommends approval. The council's regular meeting begins at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, and will be streamed live on the city's meeting video site.
