GENERAL INFO

Activity Card Information

In reading the descriptions for our programs, you will notice that there are two prices for classes. The first price is the amount a Tarpon Springs Resident or non-resident who has purchased a Recreation Card pays. The second price is the amount a non-resident without a Recreation Card pays.  Participants in outdoor organized activities (Youth Football, Youth Soccer, Little League, etc.), any gymnasium programs and all tennis court users must have a valid Activity Card.

To obtain an Activity Card, visit the Recreation Office located at 400 S. Walton Avenue.    Activity cards are photo IDs, thus all family members obtaining a card must be present.  Non-Resident Activity Cards cost $55.00 for an individual, or $70 for a family, per year, for access to all facilities.  Resident Activity Cards cost $5.00 for an individual, or $15.00 for a family, per year, for access to all facilities.  One-Day Guest Cards are available for $5.00.  All card holders are exempt from the non-resident program fees.  Activity Cards may be renewed no earlier than the month in which it expires.  Duplicates of valid cards may be purchased for $5.00.

 

Inter-Local Recreation Agreement

This agreement allows Tarpon Springs residents & city employees with a valid activity card to utilize the programs and facilities of Dunedin, Safety Harbor and Oldsmar at those cities' resident rates.  You must show them proof of your valid activity card with expiration.  Currently, this only appears on your receipt.  See us and we’ll gladly print one out for you.  To see what they have to offer, click on their names above to go to their websites.

 The agreement also allows residents & city employees of Dunedin, Oldsmar and Safety Harbor  to utilize TSRD's services, as well.  These people will need to provide documentation to either Recreation staff or Recreation instructors, that shows possession of an active resident card in their home city.  Documentation must show an expiration date.  Any documentation provided to our instructors will be forwarded to our offices, and will not be returned. 

 Services that are excluded from the agreement are camps, facility rentals, marina slip fees, boat launch fees, golf course greens fees and driving range fees.
