Bend Park & Rec District opens registration for spring recreation, programs Feb. 5-7

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Winter isn’t finished with us yet, but it’s time to plan ahead for blooming daffodils and mowing lawns.

Bend Park and Recreation District is opening registration for spring recreation and programs and sports leagues on Monday through Wednesday, Feb. 5, Feb. 6 and Feb. 7. Available activities include programs held in April through mid-June and sports leagues with registration deadlines during this time.

An online Spring 2024 Online Playlist is available for easy viewing and download. New program offerings this spring include learn to roller skate lessons for youth and adults, as well as Spanish language roller skating at The Pavilion.

Staggered registration dates ease the process for patrons and staff. Combined with a virtual waiting room, the staggering has been successful for past seasons’ openings in helping to manage load on the registration website.

• Day 1, Feb. 5: Recreation, enrichment and sports programs
• Day 2, Feb. 6: Swim lessons and aquatics programs
