As of Sept. 1, there will also be a slight increase to the drop-in and Fun Pass rates. The City says the increases are needed to offset operational expenses like minimum wage, utility rates and cost of maintenance and aquatics supplies.

The rates for a child 12 and under will increase from $3.75 to $4, for drop-in, while the rates for adults will go from $6 to $6.50. A family pass that was $15 will now cost $16.
