SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS Applications are available for low income families to apply for reduced fees for specific summer recreation programs. Applicants must be city residents and can receive up to a 75% discount if qualified. Reduced children’s pool passes are also available. Pick up an application in person at the Parks and Recreation Office to apply.
