Winter sports registration now open
This winter, Saint Paul Parks and Recreation is excited to announce that registration fees have been eliminated for winter basketball for 10U and up (ages 9+) at all recreation center sites. Eliminating these fees allows Saint Paul youth to have access to quality programming, encourages healthy and active lifestyles, builds confidence, and creates community. (Please note that fees apply for ages 4U, 6U and 8U but you can take advantage of the early bird discounts by registering in the first five days of the month.) Registration will be open September 1-30.
