To join our membership waiting list, please complete the form below, and submit a non-refundable $50 application fee via credit card. Due to the current length of the waiting list, we estimate that you would be offered a membership for the season 1-2 years from your application. That is only an estimate, and is subject to change.

When approved for membership, you will pay a one-time, non-refundable Initiation Fee of $1,000 (2026).  Current yearly membership fees due by March 31 for 2026 are $663.00 plus $93.00 for each member over 1 year of age by June 1st. Through our work day program, $125 of your dues is refundable (see below). Arrangements can also be made for childcare providers to have park access while with member children for a fee of $93.00 per season per provider. Dues are prorated if you join during the season and per member fees vary by the size of your family.

Included in the yearly dues is a capital improvements fee of $175 per membership certificate per year.  This helps us to maintain, renovate and improve the Park.  Adult members age 16+ may help out for 8 hours at our Work Days over 2 weekends in late April/early May to earn back $125 of their family’s dues each year.  $125 is the maximum that can be earned per membership annually.

Please be sure to review our Rules and Regulations page before applying.

Once you’re offered a membership, your initiation fee and dues are paid online by credit card or ACH.  Then you may register for various activities and buy guest passes and snack bar tickets online with a credit card. Checks, cash and credit cards are accepted at the gatehouse.

We hope you find this information helpful. If you have unanswered questions, please contact the  Mt Vernon Park membership chair.
