When to Register
Registration for our spring and summer programs opens March 1. Registration for fall and winter programs opens August 15. Most classes and programs fill up fast, so don’t wait too long. Registration for most programs will stay open until one week prior to the start date unless the program is already full. Leagues, trips and some other programs will have earlier close dates for registration, which are typically noted in the registration platform.
COVID-19 Protocols & Policies
Policies will vary between programs, activities and special events. Policies for programs and activities that are led by Parks & Recreation staff, contracted staff or volunteers will be determined by staff, and participants will be notified of any protocols prior to the program or activity. Policies for special events with a larger, public gathering will be determined by local or state government officials. Attendees will be notified of protocols via social media and the City’s website.
Cancelations
Programs, activities, special events, and festivals that are canceled, postponed or changed in location will be announced as soon as possible. Please check our Facebook for updates. Waukee Parks & Recreation reserves the right to cancel a program or an activity that does not meet the minimum number of participants necessary to offer the program.
Photo and Video Policy
Photos and videos may be taken of participants and guests at programs, activities, leagues, trips, special events and festivals. These photos and videos may be used in promotional materials, press releases and kits, magazine articles, newsletters, Waukee.org and any City social media channels.
