Register for Mesa Parks and Recreation spring programs

Posted

Although cooler weather prevails right now, spring will be here before you know it. Registration is underway for Mesa residents for the city’s parks and recreation spring programs. Registration for non-Mesa residents begins Jan. 11.

Spring programs include swim lessons, lifeguard training, tennis lessons, spring break camps, adaptive sports and special-interest classes. Youth sports programs include archery, golf, lacrosse, soccer and track and field. Adult sports programs, like softball, tennis and volleyball, offer fun social activities during evenings and weekends at Mesa’s sports fields, according to a release.

The goal of Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities is to keep kids and adults active while following the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. Safety measures for classes include:

  • Limiting size of classes/programs for social distancing
  • Requiring masks to be worn when entering and leaving facilities
  • Coaches/instructors will wear masks, wash hands, and sanitize equipment and high touch surfaces between classes
  • Temperature checks for staff and participants will be taken when entering the buildings
  • Limiting spectators
  • Increasing time between programs to ensure time to sanitize
  • Installing plexiglass, social distance signage and hand sanitizer stations in and around facilities
  • Making online and phone-in registration options available

Registration can be done:

  • Online: apm.activecommunities.com/mesaaz/Home
  • Email: Email a completed registration form to ParksRecInfo@MesaAZ.gov
  • By mail: Mesa Parks and Recreation, P.O. Box 1466, Mail Stop 7010, Mesa, AZ 85211

Customer service staff are available to assist all in the registration process at 480-644-7529. The Mesa Parks and Recreation “Jump In” activity guide for the spring program includes youth sports winter leagues and clinics at mesaparks.com/sports-programs/registration.

Fee assistance is available for Mesa residents. To qualify, residents must send in or drop off a fee assistance form along with copies of a current eligibility notification letter from Mesa Public Schools’ Food Service Department free or reduced lunch program. Or, they can submit a copy of unemployment verification, nutrition assistance verification, WIC Assistance verification or AHCCCS verification.
