PRM Winter Class Registration Underway

Registration for new recreation classes offered by Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine (PRM) begins today, Nov. 4. More than 400 classes in art, music, nature, fitness, special interest subjects, adult sports leagues and aquatics programs will be offered starting in December. These programs provide opportunities for exercise and recreation, social interaction and learning, and growth and relaxation for everyone from preschool-aged children to adults.

“These recreation classes are a great opportunity for residents to express their creativity, stay healthy and learn new things,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “I encourage the Long Beach community to take advantage of these programs.”

In addition to fee-based classes, the “Recreation Connection” program guide also lists dozens of free and low-cost activities for families, youth sports leagues, teen centers and senior centers. The program guide can be found at Long Beach public libraries, parks and community centers. It is also available online.

“I encourage all residents to get involved in our recreation classes, or in some of the many free activities and programs happening across the city,” said Parks, Recreation and Marine Director Gerardo Mouet. “See the issue’s eight-page park directory to learn about the amenities and activities at over 50 parks.”
