You must provide proof of residency the first time you register in order to receive the “Resident” rate . Once you are in our system, you will not need to prove residency again unless your address changes . The only acceptable forms of proof include a valid driver’s license or state identification card or a current electric, gas, water or trash bill that shows your address . Resident rates are only available to those who live within the city limits of McKinney .

Recreational activities/programs are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant .

In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the City of McKinney to guarantee absolute safety .
