People wanting to stay active, learn a new skill and have fun this spring can now view the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Departments full spring season class and program schedule online. 

Spring class registration opens at 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 4. To kick off the spring season and to help people keep up with “get active” New Years’ resolutions, the department is hosting a Free Fitness Day on Feb. 4 at all its community centers and two sports complexes. The event gives residents free use of the facilities for the day and gives them an opportunity to sign up on site for spring classes and sports programs.        

Most department full-service community centers feature fitness centers with modern aerobic and weight training equipment, specialized instruction areas such as dance and computer rooms and full-sized gymnasiums. Free Fitness Day allows residents to try out the center’s membership-based fitness facilities for free and tour all the facilities. They can also try out the Rose Mofford and Encanto Sports Complexes, which boast basketball, tennis, volleyball and racquetball courts and loaner equipment to get in the game.

When spring registration opens Feb. 4, residents can choose from hundreds of classes for all ages. The spring session runs from March through May. Classes and sports programs boast affordable prices, experienced instructors and convenient times and locations. Participants can view the full schedule in the Classes and Programs link at phoenix.gov/parks.

Parents can register their kids for everything from youth sports to fine and performing arts to dance to music lessons. Adults can choose from an equally wide range of classes whether they’re looking to get active and fit or just learn a new skill or polish up an existing one.

Once registration opens, participants can register online 24 hours a day, seven days a week or they can register at any department community or recreation center during normal operating hours.
