Active Rx 2025

We are happy to announce that Hood River Parks + Rec has received grant funding through Columbia Gorge Health Council for the Active Rx Program for 2025. These funds will ensure that all people have access to the pool and the learn to swim program.

If you are an Oregon resident and 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, Senior Services), then you are eligible to participate in the Active Rx Program and swim or take swim lessons for free. Think you qualify and are unsure? Just ask! We are happy to help.

Each person who qualifies will be able to receive two of the following services (and it can be a combination):

  • 10 Punch Pass (These do not expire and can be used for any of our general admission programming.)

  • Swim Lessons (These swim lessons are in a set of 4, each lesson being 30 minutes with a total class time of 2 hours.)

  • Summer Family Pass (Good from last day of school through Labor Day. We are allowing families to sign up for this pass starting Mid-May. Limited quantities)

How do I get started?

Call us or stop by the front desk and ask to participate. Can’t wait to see you soon!
