Reminders

Parents - Just a few reminders.

• Recreation Center Usage - The Rec Center and Recreation Pool (Small One) is only for use by Rec Center members. If you are interested in gaining membership you can talk to the front operations desk on your way to the pool. (There is a wait list for community memberships).
• Drop Off/ Pick Up - There is no permanent parking or stopping (flashers included) on the inner loop in front of the recreation center. Drivers must pull all the way down toward the pool. If you child is not ready you must then continue to loop around the innner loop. If you are wanting to walk your child out of the pool or wait for them at the curb you must park either in the hourly pay parking or purchase a parking pass. I have attached information below on attaining a parkign pass. RUPD will be monitoring the area in front of the Recreation center and issuing tickets. This is the main area for the RICE Bus system to stop and pick up, the bus can not be blocked along the street. Anyone can ride the bus labelled " inner loop" to get to the West Lot 3 faster.
• Parking for RICE Aquatics 
  Parking on the Rice campus is at a premium.  You can pay as you go in the central parking garage across the street from the recreation center for $2 per 35 minutes or at the north visitor lot at entrance 20 off Rice Blvd. or at the west lot #1 in front of the Alice Pratt Brown Building.  Parking at these spots is $1 per 35 minutes. 
  A better option is to buy an early bird/evening bird parking permit for $65 per semester or $115 for a year.  Parking permits are available in the central garage offices across the street from the recreation center.  Your name goes to the parking services as well and you may also present your Rice ID.  There is a $25 proxy card purchase at the time of registration for a parking pass.

See you at the pool
