CPAC Membership and Daily Fees
History
The Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) is a highly utilized seasonal facility that provides aquatic recreation opportunities for residents and non-residents during the summer season. Pool attendance in 2025 was 87,202. CPAC offers a variety of memberships for residents and non-residents. Those who join before May 1, qualify for an early bird discount. Sportsplex and Orland Park Health and Fitness Center members receive a cross-over membership discount of 20% off the regular season pool membership rate.
Membership and daily admission fees were last increased in 2023.
In 2025, there were a total of 6,525 memberships sold. This includes 1,448 early bird memberships sales, 750 cross-over memberships and 4,327 regular season memberships. Of this, 5,128 were resident memberships and 1,397 were non-resident memberships.
Memberships generated revenues of $419,9022.00 in 2025; $281,227.00 from resident memberships and $138,675.00 in non-resident memberships.
In 2025, daily admission revenue totaled $632,458.00; $105,407.00 from resident daily admission and $527,051.00 from non-resident daily admissions.
Guest passes are available to Orland Park residents and members. Guest passes are sold in packages of ten for $110.00. In 2025, 1,040 guest packages were sold generating $114,400.00.
Over the last five years, minimum wage has increased by $1.00 each year. The last increase occurred on January 1, 2025, raising the minimum wage to $15.00/hr. as compared to $13.00/hr. in 2023. In addition, it is anticipated that the cost of supplies and services will continue to increase in 2026.
To off-set these increases, staff propose a modest increase in memberships, daily admission fees and guest passes for the 2026 season as detailed in the attached document. This would result in a projected additional revenue of $35,234.00 in membership fees, $50,499.00 in daily admission fees and $20,800.00 in guest pass fees based on sales similar to 2025.
A summary document detailing CPAC's membership and daily admission rates as compared to peer agencies is attached.
2026 Pool memberships will go on sale November 28, 2025. Details will be included in the 2026 Winter/Spring brochure which will be printed on October 22, 2025 and distributed to resident homes on approximately November 10, 2025. Daily admission fees will be implemented when the pool opens May 23, 2026. Guest passes are available on an ongoing basis year-round.
Financial Impact
The proposed membership fee increases are projected to generate approximately $106,533.00 in additional revenues based on 2025 sales volumes.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve increasing Centennial Park Aquatic Center membership, daily admission and guest pass fees for the 2026 season as referenced below.
