Register now for Philadelphia Parks & Recreation's after school programs

Back to school doesn't mean the end of fun at Parks & Rec! Our rec centers and playgrounds offer year- round activities for youth and families. After school programs are a great way to introduce children to the variety of recreational options available to Philadelphia kids.

Our caring staff are trained to provide a safe, welcoming environment in neighborhood recreation centers where children can have fun, eat nutritious snacks, and make friends.

Philadelphia Parks & Recreation's after school programs allow youth to play, learn, and grow. Highlights include:

• Sports, athletics, and games.

• Environmental education and outdoor activities.

• Arts-creative, performing, and visual.

• Reading and STEM.

• Culture and community awareness.

• Health and wellness.

Programs are available to young people ages 6-12. Typical programs run from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., but hours vary by site.

Registered after school programs will begin on or before Monday, September 9, 2024. All other staffed recreation centers will offer drop-in programming from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. by that time.
