Have you missed getting your annual pass to THPRD? Starting soon, you can once again purchase a General Pass which can be used at any facility for admission to the following drop-in programs: lap swim, open swim, family swim, senior swim, open gym, drop-in sports, walking track, and weight rooms.

Sales began on September 1. Passes can be purchased for one month at a time for youth, adults, two-person households, or three+ person households. Discounted pricing is available for youth, seniors, and military members who reside within the park district boundary.

The district also offers the Deluxe Fitness Pass which may be used for all fitness classes and drop-in programs. This encompasses everything in the General Pass category PLUS access to fitness classes. Admission to instructor-led classes is based on space availability. Age restrictions apply for the Stuhr Center, and the Babette Horenstein Tennis Center is not included.
