No, we are no longer offering a family pass as structured in the past. But don't worry you can still get everyone in your family a pass to use the aquatic center this summer. 

Why are you no longer offering family passes: 

Historically the Pendleton Aquatic Center offered a family pass. This was a single purchase that covered up to 5 family members. Our customers told us this was a great deal for families with exactly 5 family members, but a single parent with one or two children, did not get to benefit from this deal. Therefore we set out to find a way to sell season passes that was fair to small and large families alike. A few years ago we changed to a system where customers would pay for a head of household, then each subsequent dependent paid a discounted rate. Last year the pricing on this was $100 for the head of household plus $30 for each dependent. This meant a family of 4 would pay $190 excluding any discounts. However, many people told us they found this system confusing.  So this year we had the goal of finding a system that was fair for large and small families, and simple for everyone to understand. Therefore, we did away with the all of the different pricing levels for youth, adult, and family passes and instead created one single price point, $50 for each person who wants a season pass no matter who you are. 

How does this compare to last year's pricing (excluding discounts) 

Family of 2: Last years price would have been $130 ($100 head of household plus $30 for each dependent). This year's Price will be $100 ($50 per pass holder)
Family of 3: Last years price would have been $160 ($100 head of household plus $30 for each dependent). This year's Price will be $150 ($50 per pass holder)

Family of 4: Last years price would have been $190 ($100 head of household plus $30 for each dependent). This year's Price will be $200 ($50 per pass holder)

Family of 5: Last years price would have been $220 ($100 head of household plus $30 for each dependent). This year's Price will be $250 ($50 per pass holder)
