Season Pass Sales

Season passes to the outdoor pools are only available for purchase at the DCRC front desk. Outdoor pools are not equipped to sell season passes. Season passes are available for City and school district residents for the 2021 season. A limited amount of passes are now available for non-residents.

A Dublin Community Pool season pass allows access to both the Dublin Community Pool North and South Pools.  Passes are not transferable to other individuals.

A birth certificate for children 2 years of age or younger or a driver’s license for adults 60 and older is required at the time of purchase in order to receive the discounted rate. Please note: Residency on the application pertains to where you live, not where you are employed.

City Resident, School District Resident, Non-Resident Fees Explained

Dublin City Council recognizes that the facilities and programs offered by Recreation Services should provide beneficial pricing and priority to the residents of the City. City Council’s current financial policy is to keep fees for residents participating in recreation classes and other recreational amenities at a moderate level. These financial policies have been implemented to benefit residents and to encourage a healthy community. School District Residents and Non-Residents do not receive the tax-subsidized pricing received by the residents of the City of Dublin.

Fees for recreation center annual passes, seasonal passes and program registrations are determined by where people live. You are considered a City Resident if you reside within the City of Dublin corporate limits. School District Residents reside in the Dublin School District, but not within the City of Dublin corporate limits. Anyone not fitting into one of these two categories is considered a Non-Resident. Your mailing address or school district is not always an accurate indication of your City of Dublin residency status. You may research your residency status on the State of Ohio’s website at http://tax.ohio.gov/divisions/employer_withholding/index.stm under “The Finder.”
