Originally scheduled to start on September 23, registration for non-aquatic recreation programs have been temporarily paused in an effort to help slow COVID-19.  Drop-in programs are still available.

Staff will continue to monitor drop-in class capacity and implement other temporary measures as needed. Residents are asked to continue to sign up for drop-in classes in advance to help control class sizes.

We thank the community for your patience and will update if there are further adjustments or changes.
