The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department created the Recreation Membership Program in 2008 to offset budget reductions and support the operation of the centers and facilities you know and love. If you're participating in any registration based class or program in 2009/10, you'll need a membership. You can view fees and buy a membership online. All memberships, regardless of purchase date, are good through July 31, 2010.*

Details on the membership program are listed below.
