Reboot Your Routine with a Fall Recreation Class |
If you live in Plano, you get first dibs on fall recreation classes starting at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19. Non-residents can begin registering at 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 21. Fall classes begin the week of October 5 and are available to view online now. Register at Recreation Online, in person or by phone.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and our commitment to the health and safety of our patrons and staff, in-person classes are limited. We hope to gradually resume additional in-person programming as conditions allow. Please be sure the email address on your Recreation Online account is current so we can keep you up-to-date as circumstances change. Updates to fall programming will also be shared on planoparks.org and Plano Parks & Recreation social media channels.
