A Community Bulletin

Although the Princeton Recreation Department will be raising most of its Community Park Pool rates this coming summer, resident “early birds” who purchase season tickets before April 15 will receive last year’s rates. After April 15, resident rates will increase $20 for families (to $250) and $20 for individual adults (to $160). Daily admission rates will be increased from $4 (child) and $7 (adult) to $5 and $8. Nonresident memberships are also being offered at an “early bird” discounted rate. Online registration is available at http://register.communitypass.net/princeton. Those needing assistance should call the Princeton Recreation Office at (609) 921-9480.
