2026 Membership Fees: Resident vs. Nonresident
The C&RC offers annual memberships billed monthly with a 12-month commitment, plus prepaid three-month memberships. Prices depend on age, household type, residency and season.

| Adult Ages 25–61* | $53/month | $65/month |
| Senior 62+ | $39/month | $49/month |
| Family | $94/month | $115/month |
*The Township’s published age bands both mention age 25. Confirm the correct category with membership staff if you are exactly 25.
Youth/Senior: $468
Adult: $636
Family: $1,128
Youth/Senior: $588
Adult: $780
Family: $1,380
Three-Month Membership: Fall & Winter
Rate period: August 1–March 31
| Category | Resident | Nonresident |
|---|---|---|
| Youth | $175 | $220 |
| Adult | $238 | $292 |
| Senior 62+ | $175 | $220 |
| Family | $403 | $498 |

| Family | $550 | $675 |
Other Passes and Guest Fees
| Pass | Fee / Rule |
|---|---|
| College punch card | $125 for 30 visits. Visits do not expire; college enrollment proof required. |
| Nanny/caretaker | $75 for three months. Add-on for an eligible family membership; purchased by parent or guardian. |
| Member guest | $15 per person age 2+. Up to five directly accompanied guests per membership per visit. |
Who Qualifies for a Family Membership?
A family membership covers the eligible immediate family. The Township specifies that children reaching age 22 must move to a youth membership. Extended relatives such as grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and grandchildren cannot simply be added under the family plan.
Which Pass Should You Choose?
Choose this for one visit. Buy in advance, and verify your desired amenity schedule.
$125 total, approximately $4.17 per visit when all visits are used.
Useful for a limited season without taking on a 12-month commitment.
Compare the monthly payment, guest rules, household eligibility and cancellation fee.
Example: Two adults visiting separately once a week on weekdays would spend $30 per week on day passes. A household planning frequent swimming, fitness or weekend visits should compare the family membership instead of repeatedly buying single-day passes.
Indoor Pool, Lap Swim & Outdoor Waterpark
The C&RC has both indoor and seasonal outdoor aquatic facilities. The biggest mistake is assuming all water attractions follow the same opening hours.
Family swimming, play structure, slide features, spa and resistance channel are scheduled separately. A day pass permits leisure-pool use during available visitor sessions.
Lap-lane reservations are member-only. The Township limits lane reservations to two people per lane and one 55-minute timeslot per day.
Seasonal operation; the Township currently reports it closed for the 2026 season and expects reopening in May 2027.
Separate registration dates and fees apply. Some lesson registration windows open earlier for members than for nonmembers.
Indoor Pool Schedule: October 19–25, 2026
These are the specific leisure-pool windows displayed in the Township’s official schedule for this week. They are not permanent weekly hours.
| Day | Leisure Pool | Large Slide |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9 AM–8:45 PM | 6–7 PM |
| Tuesday | 9 AM–8:45 PM | 5:30–7:30 PM |
| Wednesday | 9 AM–8:45 PM | 5:30–8 PM |
| Thursday | 9 AM–8:45 PM | Not scheduled |
| Friday | 8 AM–8:45 PM | 5:30–8 PM |
| Saturday | 9 AM–4:45 PM | Not scheduled |
| Sunday | 12–4:45 PM | 12–4:30 PM |
Availability for the water play structure and resistance channel can be different from the slide and leisure-pool windows. Swim classes, maintenance and staffing may affect individual features.
