2023 Active Rx Program
Hood River Parks + Rec
Hood River Parks + Rec has received grant funding through Columbia Gorge Health Council for the Active Rx Program for 2023. These funds will ensure that all people have access to the pool and the Learn to Swim Program.
If you receive any type of social service benefit (like, but not limited to SNAP, WIC, Foster Care Providers, Oregon Health Plan, Free and Reduced Lunch Program, and Senior Services), then you are eligible to participate in the Active Rx Program and swim or take swim lessons for free.
Each person who qualifies will be able to receive two of the following services (and it can be a combination):
10-Time Punch Card (Does not expire)
Monthly Pass (expires after one month and is perfect if you plan to come more than twice per week)
Swim Lessons
Summer Family Pass (Good from the last day of school through Labor. We will start allowing families to sign up for this pass in May. in Limited quantities)
How do I get started?
Stop by the Hood River Parks and Rec’s front desk and ask to participate. If you have a family of five and qualify, each person in your family is eligible to receive two of these services. hoodriverparksandrec.org | 541.386.1303
