Subject: Proposed 2016 Pollock Community Water Park fees
The Advisory Parks Board will review and consider an increase in some fees for the 2016 season at Pollock
th
Community Water Park at their September 14 meeting. Pollock opened in 2006 as a fabulous waterpark
with slides, zero depth entry area, lazy river, sand play area, splash pad, restrooms/shower facilities, and
concessions.
All of the fees have remained the same since the pool opened in 2006. The proposed increase in fees would
help us to maintain the pool at a high level and provide a quality experience for all of our patrons. With rising
prices in chemicals, services, product, and aging facilities this would help to offset some of these costs.
We have spent some time talking with eight (8) other area pools, reviewing information and comparing fees.
Please see the attached document. Following is my recommendation for the 2016 fees.
Youth season pass: Current-$45.00
Proposed- $55.00
Increase of Revenue (using 2015) numbers-84: $840.00
Senior season pass: Current- $45.00
Proposed- $55.00
Increase of Revenue (using 2015) numbers-22: $220.00
Adult season pass: Current - $55.00
Proposed- $65.00
Increase of Revenue (using 2015) numbers-62: $620.00
Memorandum Page two September 4, 2015
Family pass (family of 4): Current- $120.00
Proposed- $140.00
Increase of Revenue (using 2015) numbers- 225: $4,500.00
Family add: Current- $10.00 per person
Proposed- $15.00
Increase of Revenue (using 2015) numbers- 230: $1,150.00
Currently we allow children age three (3) and under to enter the pool free. I propose that we change it to
two (2) and under based on the information we have gathered from other area pools. At this time I am unable
to estimate an increase in revenue with this change as we do not record the number of kids three (3) and
under that enter the facility.
Total estimated increase in revenue for the 2016 season: $7,330.00
