New in-person card payment options coming to parks and recreation facilities!

The City of Santa Ana is making it easier than ever to complete transactions at your local community, recreation, and senior centers.

Beginning July 1, 2026, the Albert D. Salgado Recreation Center will be the first location to receive new in-person credit and debit card payment terminals. Additional centers will receive payment terminals in the coming months as the program expands citywide.

As each payment terminal is installed and activated, customers will be able to use a credit or debit card for eligible in-person transactions. A 2.5% technology processing fee will apply to all in-person credit and debit card transaction at locations with active payment terminals.

Additionally, beginning Saturday, August 1, 2026, a 2.5% technology processing fee will apply to all credit and debit card transactions processed through the City's recreation registration system, CivicRec.

We're excited to bring this new convenience to our parks and recreation facilities, and look forward to expanding payment options to other locations soon.
