In the spirit of being good stewards of the taxpayer’s dollars, The Parks and Recreation facilities have implemented a cashless payment system at all concession stands, including the Thornhill Pool, Fairway Pool, and the Sports Complex. These updates are part of a broader effort to improve safety, accountability, and efficiency for both staff and visitors.
Based on an idea presented at the May 2026 Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, Sherwood Parks and Recreation will implement a new $5 punch card system to make purchases more convenient for families who need to use cash. Cash can be used to purchase these cards at the front desk of the Bill Harmon Recreation Center. Punch cards may also be purchased using a debit card, credit card, or tap-to-pay option at the Thornhill Pool, Fairway Pool, and the Sports Complex concession stand. These punch cards will expire 12/31/2026.
Additional accountability measures are also being implemented, including reduced on-site inventory and nightly inventory checks at concession locations. These updated processes are designed to strengthen financial accountability, reduce risk, and create a safer environment for employees and guests while continuing to provide quality recreational experiences for the community.
