Spring 2023 Program Date and Registration Tips
Resident registration for Spring 2023 will be on Thursday, December 8. The following are tips that will make registration easier for you and our staff.
- Make sure your household information is correct (i.e., primary phone number, home address, age, and name)
- If you are a resident, make sure your resident ID is up to date (resident IDs expire every two years). If you do not have a resident ID and you are a resident, you can go to the front desk at PDRC or BCC to prove residency. You will need a picture ID and a bill with your name and your current Broomfield address. Having a current resident ID guarantees resident rates for most recreation programs.
Active Adult Lottery Process (residents only)
Active Adult trips will go through the lottery process in B-REx. Register online at B-REx.com, by phone, or in person at PDRC or BCC between 7 a.m., Thursday, December 8 through Thursday, December 15. The lottery will take place on Friday, December 16 at 8 a.m. During the lottery process, patrons will not be charged. B-REx will randomly pick lottery-registered patrons for each trip and those patrons that are not picked will be placed on a waitlist. Patrons will be notified if they have been selected for trips and at that time payment will be due. The final due date for payment will be Wednesday, December 21. Unpaid trip balances after the final due date will be canceled and made available for patrons on the waitlists. Once the lottery has ended, any trips that are available will then be available through the regular registration process. For more information, call 303.464.5536.
