Access Pass - Reduced Pricing

Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) believes recreation is for everyone. We know that the price of programs and activities prevents some community members from being able to participate. Thanks to the Parks Local Option Levy (Parks Levy) we can offer new payment options for people who live within the City of Portland. City of Portland residents can register for a free Access Pass to receive an ongoing discount of 25, 50, 75, or 90% based on financial need. The pass is valid for 12 months from the date of enrollment. No proof of income is required.

Early Registration: As part of our Parks Levy commitment, we're trying to help more people use our parks and activities, especially seniors, teens, people of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, and those with less money. We work with community groups to tell them about early sign-up times. This Early Registration Pilot Program helps new users by giving them information, setting up accounts, and offering assistance if they need it. Half of the spots for activities are available during this time. Groups that are interested in learning more can email parksrecreation@portlandoregon.gov.
