Leisure Cards

We use a photo ID card system to register participants for admission to our swimming pools and Community Recreation Centers.

Why do I need a Leisure Card?

In order to take advantage of the great programs and facilities we offer around Columbus you must follow a few simple steps. We require leisure cards for ages six years of age and up. That's right! 5 and under are free with the company of a parent or guardian. Leisure card's only costs $1 new, renewed or replaced, and are good for one year from the date of purchase. All you need is a form of accepted ID and a buck!
*Creating a new online registration account prior to applying for a new leisure card is not necessary but helps expedite the process. An acceptable form of I.D. is required when purchasing your Leisure Card.

Step 1: Accepted forms of ID

Step 2: Participating hours
