[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically, pools are now just for poor people. [/quote]

I don't follow. Is it free still if you are on snap or something?[/quote]

Who the hell would pay $600 for a filthy pool with bad service?  I am assuming they will give a break to the poor. I guess the middle class of DC will be given the shaft again. Did the council approve this?[/quote]

Washington, DC) – In June 2016, the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) implemented new regulations and fees.   The new regulations, which were approved by the DC Council and published in the DC Register for public comment, will ensure equitable access, the protection of participants on DPR property and a thorough and efficient permitting system.  Many of the ideas set in these regulations came from comments from the general public through a permits task force and public meetings.

The regulations also establish new fees for field usage, community rooms, courts, gyms, picnic groves, park-space, pool lanes and equipment.  The hourly rates are well below the DC Metro average rates and offer waivers for some qualified users.  DPR has also established an activity fee guide with a range of activity fees, with automatic discounts for seniors.
