Daily Admission and Membership Fees

The City publishes community-center membership and fee schedules with separate resident and nonresident categories.

The City’s 2025 Parks and Recreation fee schedule lists a $10 individual daily admission for Tomahawk Ridge Community Center. Its 2025 community newsletter also lists $10 day passes.

Membership prices depend on the plan and residency category. The City’s prior fee schedule also identified a convenience charge for monthly automatic-draft membership payments.

Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center vs. Community Center

Two different City recreation facilities use the Tomahawk Ridge name, and their services should not be confused.

FacilityLocationMain feature
Tomahawk Ridge Community Center11902 Lowell AvenueIndoor fitness, gymnasiums, group exercise, game room and event rentals.
Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center11950 Lowell AvenueSeasonal outdoor swimming and aquatic activities.

Is there an indoor pool at Tomahawk Ridge Community Center?

No indoor public swimming pool is listed among Tomahawk Ridge Community Center’s amenities. Overland Park’s Matt Ross Community Center has year-round indoor pools, while Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center provides seasonal outdoor swimming nearby.

October 2026 pool status

The City’s 2026 outdoor pool announcement scheduled the end of the Tomahawk Ridge Aquatic Center season for September 7, 2026. Visitors should not expect regular outdoor pool operation in October.

Published 2026 outdoor pool admission was $8 per day, reduced to $4 after 4:30 PM during the operating season. Those pool prices are separate from Community Center gym admission.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mixing up the community and aquatic centers

They have different addresses, seasonal schedules and admission prices.

Assuming pickleball is always available

JCPRD’s drop-in schedule is subject to court availability and temporary program relocations.

Using 2025 membership prices as 2026 quotes

Historical rates are useful for comparison but must be verified before purchase.

Assuming every group class requires registration

The City says regular group exercise generally operates without advance registration.

Expecting automatic gym access

Leagues, rentals and events can displace normal open gym.

Confusing Matt Ross and Tomahawk Ridge programs

Many 50 Plus activities may relocate from Matt Ross during renovation work beginning in October 2026.
