Several recreation fees are being increased following a public hearing at the Feb. 23 The Woodlands Township board of directors meeting, and the board also discussed designs for proposed renovations to Falconwing Park in the Village of Indian Springs.
Parks and recreation programs have been highly used in The Woodlands in the past year, with the department seeing $7 million in revenue—$779,000 above the budgeted amount for the 2021 fiscal year, President and General Manager Monique Sharp said during the financial report presentation at the meeting.
The changes to fees made Feb. 23 include the establishment of pickleball court fees of $10-$12 per hour for residents and $24 per hour for nonresidents. The higher end of resident fees are for peak hours, which are 8 a.m.-1 p.m. on weekdays and 5-8 p.m. on weekends, according to meeting materials.
The multipurpose rink fee is $20 per hour for qualified organizations, $30 per hour for residents and $60 for nonresidents, according to township information. Previous fees were $20 for residents and $40 for nonresidents. In addition, nonresident punch cards at Rob Fleming Aquatic Center are $100, an increase from $55, according to the township.
