Just Released: The Spring 2020 Play More Guide

Can you believe it!? 2020 is almost here and we're making sure you have a clear vision of all the activities, programs and events you want to sign up for in our brand new January - May 2020 Play More Guide! Whether you learn sign language in the American Sign Language 101 class or get fit during Hip Hop Spin, there is something for everyone to participate in.

Here's an important update on registration as the typical process has changed! Program registration will begin on Sunday, December 1 for programs taking place January - May 2020. Athletic League registration varies and can be found on pages 20-23 of the Play More Guide. Swim Lesson registration dates are as follows: 

• Monday, December 2 at 9 a.m. for all classes beginning in January and February.
• Monday, March 2 at 9 a.m. for all classes beginning in March.
• Monday, April 6 at 9 a.m. for all classes beginning in April and May.

And keep in mind, if you have an activity in your wish list, such as summer camp for your kids or Parent's Night Out for you, make sure to mark your calendar for registration day because activity spots fill up very fast!

How do I register for a program?

We want to make sure you're ready to go on August 1! We have an online registration portal, called Active Net, that allows participants to register for most programs in the comfort of their own home. You can search for your favorite programs by keyword, age, day, time, location and more! Best of all, there are no registration fees...so whether you sign up in person at your local recreation center or online, the fees (if any) are all the same.

For full step-by-step instructions on how to create an Active Net account and begin registering for programs, visit our website. We would encourage making sure your account is setup prior to when registration opens up.

What is the Play More Guide?

Play More is a guide to creative and challenging recreation choices in Durham and is produced by Durham Parks and Recreation (DPR). Three editions are published throughout the year - June-August, September-December, and January-May. Each guide consists of upcoming activities for all ages to enjoy, including both registered and drop-in activities.

Inside each Play More Guide you will find detailed information on our Play More card, pass sale chart, facility addresses and hours of operation, trails and greenways, rentals, and more.

The Play More Guide is available online. Prefer a printed copy? Pick one up at any of our recreation centers or the administration office. They can also be found at most local grocery stores in Durham. You can also browse our many offerings with our online registration site. Search by keyword, date, time, location, ages and more!
