Is It Worth It?

I've been keeping an eye on the new Aquatic and Recreation Center that the City of Keller has been building. It's visible from the path where I take the dog each afternoon. It was funded through a half-cent sales tax, but will also have user fees for "guest passes" as they call them. They're selling yearly passes at a discounted rate right now, but I'm not sure if it's worth it for me. The regular price for an adult resident of Keller will be $305/year and they're offering it for $275 right now.

I called the Parks and Recreation department to try to find out some additional information. They still haven't decided on everything, but they think the hours will be approximately 5:30am-10:00pm on weekdays with day passes ranging from $6.00 to $8.00. Right now, I don't see myself using it enough to justify the yearly package (it'd be $25.42/month at the regular price), given that I've been walking two miles a day with the dog. I guess they're aiming the yearly passes at people who would otherwise have joined a health club and are looking for one close to home.
