While no formal programming is planned, online pre-registration is strongly encouraged and will be available at Phoenix.gov/Parks.

Lunch will be provided, but participants are allowed to bring their own non-perishable lunch and/or snacks.

Depending on the facility, non-structured activities such as board games, sports, arts and crafts, and movies may be offered.

Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department staff will operate the centers as drop-in only, meaning that sign-in and sign-out is not required, and each parent or guardian dropping off a child will be required to sign a waiver and provide contact information.
