I’ve been keeping an eye on the new Aquatic and Recreation Center that the City of Keller has been building.  It’s visible from the path where I take the dog each afternoon.  It was funded through a half-cent sales tax, but will also have user fees for “guest passes” as they call them.  They’re selling yearly passes at a discounted rate right now, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it for me.  The regular price for an adult resident of Keller will be $305/year and they’re offering it for $275 right now.

I called the Parks and Recreation department to try to find out some additional information.  They still haven’t decided on everything, but they think the hours will be approximately 5:30am-10:00pm on weekdays with day passes ranging from $6.00 to $8.00.  Right now, I don’t see myself using it enough to justify the yearly package (it’d be $25.42/month at the regular price), given that I’ve been walking two miles a day with the dog.  I guess they’re aiming the yearly passes at people who would otherwise have joined a health club and are looking for one close to home.
