Parks and Recreation fees to go up in Cumberland 2025

You will be paying more for parks and recreation in Cumberland in the new year.

The Village says parks and recreation fees, including admission rates for the Cumberland Recreation will go up by seven percent as per the recent Parks and Recreation Fee Bylaw. This bylaw is used to impose fees for goods and services.

New fees includes drop-ins for babies costing $1.15, $2.30 for child/youth, $4.60 for adults, and $3.45 for seniors. For 1 month costs, the price ranges from $11.50 to $46 between the age groups, and $69 to $276 for year costs.

They say the increase is an annual one, and it’s done to keep up with the rising cost of goods and services over the past five years.

For single patrons, monthly memberships will still cost 10 times more than the price of a single admission, with annual memberships to still be six times more than what a monthly membership costs.

“All memberships purchased before January 1, 2025 are subject to the current fees,” said the Village. “Fees for instructed classes and other registered programs are not affected by the bylaw.”

The Village adds for user groups, all parking and facility bookings made after New Years Day will be getting the new fees, with fees for individual sports fields not changing.

The increase starts January 1.
