Winter is coming…

Gilbert Parks and Recreation Foundation Gold Members will enjoy early registration starting today, Gilbert residents gain access tomorrow and non-residents later this week.

Winter registration will include fun winter break camps, adult paint parties, and valuable first aid training workshops.

Also, be sure to register for some of our most popular programs, like the Father/Daughter Dance or Kidz Kamp, before they sell out.

Adult sports leagues are a great way to meet new people and reach your fitness goals for 2023. Check out tennis, volleyball or football.

Be sure to “heart” the programs that you are interested in and make checkout a breeze when the time comes.
