Options for citizens who did not have a membership on hold are to purchase individual time slots, purchase a monthly pass or annual membership - all at the Facility level pricing. This pricing level recognizes that our facilities are not running as usual with capacity limits and reduced amenity access. Our interim pricing therefore is as follows:
Pay per time slot*:
