FAQ's/TIPS
What do I need to do to get a dog park pass?
You need to come to the family center office and bring a hard copy of your dog's shot records showing current inoculations against Rabies, Parvo, Distemper, and Bordetella. You need to fill out the application, sign the waiver, and pay the appropriate fees. Passes are sold on the calendar year. You can get an annual pass or a daily pass.

When is your pool open to the public?
The Broad Ripple Park Pool is a seasonal swimming pool open Memorial Day Weekend through August. Regular season hours are Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m., and Sunday, 12 noon – 6 p.m.

What are the fees for admittance to the pool?
Daily admissions are $2 for kids 3 – 17 years of age and $3 for adults. Children two and under are free. Seniors 55 and older are $2. You must pay to enter the pool whether you swim or not.

Do I have to rent the shelters and the picnic knoll ahead of time, or can I just show up and try and claim the location I want?
Park amenities are first come first served unless permitted out ahead of time. Beginning in May and going through the end of October the shelters and the picnic knoll are typically permitted out every weekend. We start taking shelter reservations for the year, the first business day in January. We rent amenities for the day. There are fees involved depending on the amenity that is rented. We post signs inside the display board by each amenity indicating if it is rented for the day or not.
