DCRC Annual Membership Rates
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 map below.
CR = City Resident | SDR = School District Resident | NR = Non-Resident
City of Dublin Parks & Recreation Financial Assistance Program
The City of Dublin Parks and Recreation Department offers a variety of programs for all ages. The City strives to make these programs accessible to all its residents. Therefore, a financial assistance program is available for those who would not otherwise be able to afford to participate in these programs.
