Come Out and Play! 2024 Recreation Guide Now Available

Post Date:05/01/2024 11:22 AM

 

  • Youth long jump photoClasses and activities begin in May
  • Changes to fee waivers have been made in response to General Fund shortfall

Salem, Ore. – Discover your passport to summer fun and adventure! The 2024 City of Salem Recreation Guide is now available online and arriving soon in the mailboxes of past participants.

Classes and activities in the Recreation Guide begin in May. Fun and exciting supervised summer activities are available for ages 3 to 99. Opportunities include a wide variety of sports (track, tennis, pickleball, basketball, soccer and more), plus wilderness and park play activities.

How to Register

  1. Register in person at the Customer Service Center, 555 Liberty St. SE, Room 100.
  2. Register online at egov.cityofsalem.net/ParksRec.

While most activities continue this year as usual, fee waivers on City of Salem youth programs have been reduced to 20% in response to General Fund revenue shortfalls.

“While these changes are necessary in light of budget challenges, we want to continue to offer some fee relief for qualifying households,” said Jennifer Kellar, Parks and Recreation Division Manager. “Even with these changes, City of Salem activities are still remarkably affordable in comparison to other available options.”

The partial fee waivers are available to people living within the Salem city limits, who can provide proof of Oregon Health Plan, Oregon Trail Card or WIC participation. Call 503-588-6336 to verify eligibility, or get more information, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
