The Skagway Assembly approved a resolution modifying the fee structure for the Skagway Recreation Center at the April 18 meeting.
Children under 14 may now use the facilities free of charge. Previously kids needed to be part of a family plan or have their own plan. The family plans have been discontinued.
In addition, 14- 17 year olds now have a separate plan, allowing them entrance without the need to belong to a family plan.
Seniors 65 and older now have a fee structure similar to the older teens, reducing their day rate from $8 to $3.
The rec center sees the new structure as more cost effective for all groups. Year-round residents will see improved benefits in the fee structure.
The new fees are currently active and available on the center’s website.
The diagram was presented at the assembly meeting.
