Daily Admission 

Kirkwood Parks and Recreation ID cards are required for everyone ages 4 and older and must be presented for entry; no other form of ID is accepted. Cards are available at the Community Center front desk during normal business hours.

Residents of Kirkwood and Glendale may pay the resident daily admission rate or purchase a season pass; each resident ID holder may bring up to 5 guests per day, who pay the guest daily admission fee. To receive resident status, adults must show a valid photo ID and a current utility bill, bank statement, or voter ID card dated within the last 3 months.

Resident ID cards cost $15, are valid for 3 years, and expire on October 31 of the final year. Non-resident ID cards cost $17, are valid for the current pool season only, and the daily entry fee is waived on the day a new non-resident card is purchased. All non-residents, including guests entering without a resident, must have their own ID card, and non-resident season pass holders must present their Kirkwood Parks and Recreation-issued ID card for entry. Individuals must be at least 16 years old to purchase an ID card without a guardian present.
