In Rotherham Council, which is run by Labour, gives asylum seekers access to the Rothercard, which was initially launched aiming to assist low-earning families with bills.
The card is eligible to around 500 people in asylum accommodation in the South Yorkshire town, reports The Sun.
Rotherham council also offers discounts at Rother Valley Country Park, where asylum seekers can rent a 90-minute double-handed dinghy or a sailing boat rental goes from £20.70 to £14.80.
Water sports, including windsurfing, are also offered at a discount, while a single-handed dinghy is £12.70, a third down from £16.40.

In the other end of Yorkshire, migrants living in Calderdale are offered £15 off a massage and discounted tickets at Bradford’s IMAX cinema.
Physiotherapy is available in Halifax, under the Passport to Leisure card, with migrants getting £15 off an initial assessment, then a "further £5 saving for each treatment and one-hour massage".
The MP for Wetherby and Easingwold, Sir Alec Shelbrooke, told The Sun: "I’m shocked and appalled at the blatant waste of hard-pushed taxpayers’ money when councils are declaring poverty.
"This blatant waste will appal families who, quite frankly, cannot afford to take these perks even with a discount. While everyone else has their benefits cut, asylum seekers are being pampered with perks at taxpayers’ expense."

Elsewhere, Swedish e-scooter firm Voi gave migrants half-price access to passes under an "equitable access" scheme.
Users can apply online and, if successful in their application, pay as little as £7 a week.
The firm has had over 21 million rides on its 1,400 scooters since launching here in 2020.
While the company claims to have replaced nine million car journeys with eco-friendly electric options, the firm does not offer the same 50 per cent deal to asylum seekers in France and Belgium.
In London, Kingston Council has 50 per cent off leisure activities.
Wandsworth Council has 50 per cent off e-bikes plus half-price weddings and civil partnership ceremonies at its town hall.
Richmond Council gives asylum seekers free swimming and cheaper Spanish or French lessons via a discount card.
In Birmingham, the City Council offers £1 kids’ tickets to Aston Villa with a paying adult, and subsidises swimming, martial arts, plus courses on trampolining, golf, gymnastics and football.
Danielle Durrans, at Calderdale Council, told The Sun: "The Passport to Leisure scheme offers discounted access to sport, cultural and leisure facilities" adding that some private firms provided support.
A spokesman from Rotherham Borough Council said: "The Rothercard scheme offers support to all residents on low incomes.
"We would not generally expect asylum seekers to be accessing sports facilities like Rother Valley Country Park.
"Rothercard also helps with the costs of services like pest control and waste disposal, which we would want to ensure were available to everyone who lives here."
