For many Harvest Bend families, pool season isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s the unofficial start of summer. It’s the first cannonball, the sound of kids laughing from across the water, and those long, easy evenings spent catching up with neighbors poolside. With the 2026 season approaching, now is the time for residents to get their pool ID cards squared away so they’re ready from day one.

For 2026, Harvest Bend’s pool access will once again require updated pool ID cards, and residents are encouraged to plan ahead for registration dates to avoid delays once the season begins. Whether it’s a quick renewal or a first-time ID for new residents, understanding the process now can make opening day smoother for everyone.

Late Registration for Harvest Bend Pool IDs: What Changes

For those who miss early registration, late registration begins May 26, 2026 and continues throughout the pool season. However, the process becomes more structured and slightly more expensive:

• $2 per renewal sticker
• $11 per new pool ID card

During late registration, residents must schedule an appointment with ACMP to obtain new pool IDs. Appointments take place at the ACMP office, and residents can request a time by emailing james@acmpinc.com. 

This shift to appointment-based registration is designed to manage demand during peak season, but it also means planning ahead becomes even more important for families eager to use the pool early in the summer.
