Tampa Parks & Recreation has announced that as of May 1, it has officially extended a military discount for all annual Rec Cards, both individual and family passes, in recognition of Military Appreciation Month, according to a news release.
The military discount of a recreation card is similar to the department’s senior discount and will reduce pass fees by 50%, regardless of residency status, the release says.
Qualified individuals simply need to show military ID, and the discount will extend eligibility to all family members in the household.
A Rec Card is required to participate in most Parks & Recreation programs and activities throughout the city.
An active card entitles the holder to the use of open gyms, fitness rooms and computer labs at any City of Tampa Parks & Recreation community center, as well as open swim sessions at City of Tampa aquatic facilities.
Participants should note that camps, clinics, lessons, leagues, classes, lap swim sessions, membership materials and supplies may not be included.
Only family members using the amenities or registering for programs need to have a Rec Card.
Rec Cards are not mailed to patrons, but can be printed out upon request at one of the facilities.
Individual military Rec Cards are $15 per year, and family military Rec Cards are $50 per year.
