The Delores Dalke Family Aquatic Center offers an exceptional aquatic experience for Hillsboro and the surrounding areas. The intention of this policy is to clarify the process for admitting patrons and groups to the aquatic center and provide guidelines for the usage of the facility.
(1) The top priority for operation of the aquatic center is the safety of all users of the facility. Decisions about the operations of the facility and who can access the facility will be based on safety. The designated manager of the facility has the authority to make decisions based on the safety of patrons.
(2) The aquatic center opens for the season around Memorial Day and closes around Labor Day. Specific dates that the center is open to the public are determined by the availability of staff and weather conditions. The daily schedule of the facility is determined by the designated manager and will be posted for the public.
(3) Prices for daily admission and pool parties are subject to change by vote of the city council. Definitions for each season pass are available at City Hall or on the Rec Desk platform. For the 2024 season, the admission fees are the following:
a. Day Pass (3 years and under) - $1 per day

(4) Pool party rentals are available but must be booked a minimum of one week before the date. The availability of party rentals will be determined by the designated manager based on available staffing, weather conditions, or other relevant factors. The aquatic center reserves the right to turn down any pool party rental request or cancel any rental reservation based on staffing, weather, mechanical issues or other relevant factors. Cancelled reservations will be issued a refund any fees paid. Charges for pool parties are subject to change by city council. For the 2024 season, pool party rentals are $50 per hour for the first 25 swimmers and $2 per each additional swimmer.
(5) No refunds shall be given if the facility is closed due to inclement weather, mechanical issues, staffing issues or any other issues that may render the facility unsafe for use. If the facility closes, rain checks good for one daily admission shall be given upon request.
(6) To encourage facility usage and employee wellness, the city will provide any regular full-time or regular part-time employee and volunteer fire fighter a 50% reduction cost in season passes for themselves or members of their immediate family living in their household.
(7) The city works in partnership with USD 410 to provide activities and physical education classes an opportunity to use the pool. USD 410 will pay a fee for usage as determined by agreement between the designated manager and USD 410 staff.
