Fall & Winter Recreational Activities

OUR PURPOSE: The City of Medical Lake Parks & Recreation Department youth recreation programs emphasize participation rather than competition. All our activities are designed to be coed. If you prefer that your child participate in a more competitive or all boys/all girls league, our staff would be happy to assist you in contacting other organizations that may better suit your needs.

OUR GOAL: The goal of the Recreation Department is to promote and coordinate year-round activities, instructional classes and other leisure and recreational programs for all ages.

PROGRAM REGISTRATION PROCEDURE: Registration for all programs and classes sponsored by the Medical Lake Parks & Recreation Dept. can be done either at Medical Lake City Hall between 8am & 5pm, Monday through Friday or by mailing in a registration form which must include payment and the signature of parent/guardian (if a minor). Cash or Checks are welcome as we do not have the ability to accept credit card payments. Most activities have a registration deadline so please make sure to adhere to those dates to ensure your place in the activity.
