Irving Parks and Recreation Updates Membership Age Categories

  Go Back

Beginning Oct. 1, Irving Parks and Recreation will introduce new membership age categories and pricing at recreation centers.

Under the updated structure, children ages 3 and older will need a Basic membership to access facilities. Adults will pay the Active Adult rate through age 59, while the Senior rate will now begin at age 60, reflecting national aging trends and practices in other North Texas cities.


Residents ages 50–59 can continue to use senior facilities; they will simply pay the adult rate. This adjustment also helps the department transition into new facilities where aquatics and recreation previously followed different age structures.


The revisions will enhance safety and tracking during facility use, simplify family Play Pass bundling and better reflect the activity levels of residents in their 50s, many of whom participate in adult fitness and recreation programs.


Key Benchmarks Guided the Changes
  1. About 75% of comparable cities classify youth starting at age 3.
  2. Roughly 75% set senior status at 60 or older.


New Age Categories
  1. Child: 0–2
  2. Youth: 3–17
  3. Adult: 18–59
  4. Senior: 60+


The update also brings adjusted pricing for basic, fitness and aquatics memberships, along with new family package options.


The Irving Parks and Recreation Board unanimously approved the changes on Aug. 11.
