RESIDENT ID CARDS If you have a Resident ID Card and you do not use it at the pool for either the membership function or to receive a discount on daily admissions, than you do not need to get a new Resident ID card until your current card expires. Current Resident ID Cards with valid expiration dates will still be accepted at Armitage Golf Course and the Yard Waste Facility. If you have a Resident ID Card that is expired and you don’t plan on using it for the swimming pool, you may stop by anytime and renew your residency status during regular business hours. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES FOR A HAMPDEN POOL MEMBERSHIP The Township's Pool Membership ID card, which includes a photo of the member, will be used again in 2016. See below for information about obtaining a pool membership card. If you have a Resident ID Card that is expired and you do plan on using it at the swimming pool for discounted daily admission, you will need to wait until after March 15, 2016 to obtain a new card in person at the Recreation Department during normal business hours. After the application and payment is processed by the Recreation Department, the membership card will be valid for the 2016 pool season. When an individual presents his/her card at the pool, membership status will be verified by use of a barcode and scanner system. As a reminder, cards will be reused on an annual basis until the expiration date listed on the card. It is not necessary to have all members of the family present at the same time for photos to be processed by the Recreation Department. Additional photo sessions have been established for your convenience, please refer to the extended office hours schedule. DISCOUNTS FOR DAILY ADMISSION TO HAMPDEN POOL AND ARMITAGE GOLF COURSE & USE OF THE YARD WASTE FACILITY POOL MEMBERSHIP CARDS The Township's Resident ID card, which is used for discount rates at the Pool and Armitage Golf Course as well as use of the yard waste facility, includes a photograph of the resident. Because of the Rec Department’s software upgrade, all 2016 pool members three years of age and older, whether you are renewing your old membership or obtaining one for the first time, will need a new Pool Membership Card. This can be accomplished one of three ways. The card, which is the same card used for a pool membership, will have a barcode that will be scanned by a computer to verify residency status. Residents who want the free ID card can have their photo taken from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Recreation Department. You may also attend any of the extended office hours. 1). Get your picture taken at the Recreation Office during regular business hours or extended offices hours. Cards will be processed at a later time and will be available to be picked up at the recreation office before the pool opens for the season or at the pool front desk once the pool opens for the summer. Individuals 21 years of age and older must provide their own proof of residency. Children who don't have a form of identification must be accompanied by a parent to obtain the discount card. 2). Get your picture taken at the Pool after it opens for the season. Cards will be processed at a later time and will be available to be picked up at the pool front desk on your next visit. The card will entitle a resident to a discount of $3off greens fees, $1 off after-hours and on 9 hole rates, and $1 off weekend/holiday cart fees at Armitage. The card gets you a $2.00 discount off weekday (Mon.-Fri) daily admission and $5.00 off weekend/holiday (Sat. & Sun.) daily admission at the pool. Residents must present a photo ID card to receive the discount. Without the card a resident must pay the entire fee. 3). Email head shots of those needing to get their new cards processed. Send photos to parksdept@hampdentownship.us. Please put your last name in the subject line, followed by “ID Cards”.
