Question:
What is non-resident membership?
Answer:
Non-residents can pay up to 50% more than a resident for most programs.

Answer:
Payment of this annual fee will allow non-residents and their immediate family to register for any program at the resident rate for one year.

Answer:
To pay the yearly fee, please bring in a copy of your most recent tax bill for fee computation at the Park office.
