Parks & Recreation Financial Assistance

Lexington Parks & Recreation has rolled out a new price structure for programs, camps and events. This includes a more equitable financial assistance program titled “Count Me In.” Any paid program, camp or event is now eligible for a 50% financial assistance discount for youth and adults in qualifying households. Staff will review any extenuating circumstances that may still present barriers after the discount for additional assistance to ensure that programs and events are equitably accessible to all.
