2026 Fee Update
New Year. Continued Improvements. Same great experiences.
Why are fees changing?
To ensure our recreation facilities continue to meet the high standards our community expects, the City of Sugar Land hired a professional consultant in 2025 to complete a comprehensive fee study. This study reviewed operational costs, regional comparisons, and the level of City subsidy provided to residents.
Based on those findings, the approved updated fees will be effective January 1, 2026. This is a phased implementation plan with additional adjustments scheduled over the next three years.
Putting It in Perspective
Our membership fees have remained nearly the same for over a decade.
- When centers first opened in 2011, memberships were $10 per year.
- Over that span, they have only increased to $12.75 per year.
During that time, the cost to operate, maintain, and improve our facilities has grown significantly. These new fees help us catch up to current expenses and continue offering the same high-quality programs, services, and amenities our community enjoys.

Rental Fee Adjustments
Rental rates for facilities and park spaces have also been updated following the fee study. While most increases are modest, they reflect rising maintenance costs and our commitment to providing exceptional event spaces for residents and visitors alike.

About T.E. Harman
The T.E. Harman Center is named after T. E. Harman, who was elected as the first Mayor of Sugar Land on Dec. 15, 1959. He served for two terms, from 1959-1961 and 1964-1968.
Harman was responsible for many groundbreaking accomplishments while Mayor, including the creation of a city council building, plumbing and electricity codes, the city police force and a comprehensive plan in 1961 that paved the way for zoning.
"Times will change and we must make room for progress."
