Bend Park and Rec’s fall recreation program registration opens next week

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend Park and Recreation District is opening registration for fall recreation programs and winter sports leagues on Monday through Wednesday, Aug. 5, 6 and 7. The Fall 2024 Online Playlist is available for viewing and download now.

To continue to help spread out opening day demand, program registration is staggered over three days. Combined with a virtual waiting room, the staggering has been successful for past seasons’ openings in helping to manage load on the registration website.

September – December programs and fall/winter leagues will open for registration as follows:

• Day 1, August 5: Recreation, enrichment and sports camps and programs. This includes no-school camps, art, crafts, sports, ice skating, technology, fitness, outdoors, cooking and more.
• Day 2, August 6: Swim lessons and aquatics programs for youth and adults.
• Day 3, August 7: Sports leagues – fall/winter leagues including adult curling, adult hockey, youth indoor soccer, youth volleyball, middle school Ultimate and youth/middle school/high school basketball leagues.

For patrons who haven’t logged into their online account in the past 30 days, they are strongly encouraged to do so now at https://register.bendparksandrec.org to be sure they can successfully log in without issue and register for recreation programs on Aug. 5, 6 and 7.
