Non Resident: A person that does not live within the limits of the Borough of Perkasie.  While many households do have a Perkasie mailing address, to qualify for a resident membership, you must live within the Borough limits.  This is because residents of the Borough of Perkasie pay local taxes that contribute to the maintenance of the entire park system.  A portion of the excess revenue from electric sales to Borough residents & businesses funds the debt service of this facility.  Because residents already contribute to the facility (as described above) and Borough Council wants to encourage use by members of the community, they have elected to give a discounted rate to residents.
