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 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 family roller skate lessons in Spanish at The Pavilion.
Saggered 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
- Day 3, Feb. 7: Sports leagues – spring and summer leagues, including adult and youth roller hockey, adult cornhole, adult softball and adult volleyball leagues.
