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.
