Carson City's Parks, Recreation and Open Space rate tables carry a "Disabled Veteran" line that is free in every column. Multi-Purpose Athletic Center (MAC), 1860 Russell Way, (775) 887-2339: drop-in, 10-punch, one-month, three-month and annual passes all "Free" for a disabled veteran, against $5 a visit and $315 a year for an adult.

Roop Street, (775) 887-2242: the same free line and the same card rule, with weight room use included in pool admission. Rifle and Pistol Range: free drop-in and annual passes, Nevada resident or not, for a "Disabled Veteran with 50% or greater disability rating (Pick up free annual pass at Carson Aquatic Facility or Carson City MAC)". Other drop-ins are $5 for Nevada residents and $10 otherwise, paid at the on-site kiosk. How it is checked. At the joint Open Space and Parks and Recreation meeting of December 2, 2025, asked why staff verify the 50%, the department said veterans have the designation on their card, "which must be presented upon entry per direction received from the Board of Supervisors". If your VA card does not show the rating, bring a VA rating letter as well.
