Fair Share policy
The Brunswick residents make a significant contribution to the financing and operation of the Parks and Recreation Department. The City property tax and income tax are paid whether or not the individual participates or uses the parks facilities or the Recreation Center facilities. The Fair Share Policy concept is intended to apportion to non-residents an equalized fee, so that they contribute to the overall financing of the Parks and Recreation department on an equitable basis with residents. It is hoped that this policy will give not only equal treatment, but also a better understanding of fees and overall financing to both residents and non-residents.

Residency
Residents are defined as persons and their immediate families who live in the City of Brunswick. Non-resident usage of our programs and facilities is encouraged. However, since non-residents do not pay property and/or income taxes, it is only fair they pay a higher fee for participating. To receive resident rates or school district rates, proof of residency is required along with a completed membership application.
