Colonies Residents Invited to Save on 2026 Swim Season with Early Pool Registration at HCMUD 102
As temperatures begin to climb across the Houston area, families in The Colonies neighborhood are already looking ahead to pool season—and this year, early planning could mean both savings and a smoother start to summer.
The Colonies Neighborhood Center (CNC), in partnership with Harris County Municipal Utility District 102 (HCMUD 102), is inviting residents to take advantage of early registration for the 2026 swim season. The initiative is designed to help families secure access ahead of opening day while benefiting from reduced seasonal rates.
Why Early Pool Registration Matters for Colonies Residents
For many homeowners and families in The Colonies, the neighborhood pool is more than just a place to cool off—it’s a central gathering point that supports community connection, outdoor activity, and family-friendly recreation throughout the summer months.
Early registration not only offers cost savings for residents of Harris County MUD 102 but also helps streamline access before peak demand begins. With Houston’s long summer season, securing a spot early can mean fewer hassles and more time enjoying the water.
Early Registration Dates, Times, and Location
Pool sign-ups are now conducted at the newly renovated CNC pool:
Note that there will be no pool sign-ups this weekend in observance of Mother's Day. Sign-ups will resume weekends starting May 16th thru June 1st.
These weekend options are intended to accommodate busy schedules and ensure residents have ample opportunity to register before the season begins.
Pool Opening Timeline for 2026 Season
The HCMUD 102 pool is expected to open for Memorial Day weekend, pending final approval from Harris County Public Health Services permits.
The regular pool season is scheduled to officially begin May 30, aligning with the start of summer break for many local students and families.
Daily Entry and What to Expect
For those who do not register for the season, daily access will still be available at a rate of:
- $5 per person, per day (exact change required)
However, seasonal registration remains the most cost-effective option for frequent visitors, particularly for families planning to use the pool regularly throughout the summer.
A Community Tradition That Brings Neighbors Together
Each year, the opening of the Colonies Neighborhood Center pool signals more than just the start of summer—it reflects the rhythm of life in The Colonies. From children learning to swim to neighbors reconnecting after the school year, the pool continues to serve as a shared space where community bonds are strengthened.
With early registration now open, residents have an opportunity to plan ahead, save money, and ensure they don’t miss out on one of the neighborhood’s most valued seasonal amenities.
What Residents Should Do Next
Residents of Harris County MUD 102 are encouraged to:
- Attend one of the early registration dates
- Bring necessary information for household registration
- Take advantage of seasonal pricing before peak demand
As summer approaches, preparation now can make for a more relaxed and enjoyable season ahead.
