Sizzling summer fun is on the horizon in Mesa, where residents currently get the first dibs on registering for the City's Parks and Recreation summer programs. For those who missed the local memo, out-of-towners get their crack at securing a spot starting April 15 at 8 a.m., as per the city’s latest buzz.

Forget lazing on the couch this summer, because Mesa's lineup reads like a buffet for the body and brains. New to the adult sports scene is co-ed volleyball, ready to spike the interest for friendly competition among other offerings like softball and tennis. Adults looking to ditch the routine, remember to hit 'Recess for Adults', which promises a weekly dose of changing sports or games, according to the city's announcement.

Teens, listen up because your summer is about to get lit with activities ranging from dodgeball to pickleball nights. Not to mention the chance to flex those brain muscles with STEM activities, as noted by Mesa officials. And for youth eager to step up their game, a Major League Baseball Pitch, Hit and Run event awaits on June 13 at Monterey Park, as sharp as the scorpion hikes and as energized as the cheer clinics on the roster.

Then there's the adaptive recreation schedule, made for inclusivity with a variety of summer camps and hiking. Bulldog fitness and recreational bowling are also in the mix, ensuring there's something for every ability this summer. Dive deeper into summer with Mesa Aquatics, offering a splash of private swim lessons and team aquatic sports. And for landlubbers, a waltz through classical dance, babysitting and child safety, tai chi, and Dungeons & Dragons is slated. A full breakdown of opportunities can be scoped out in the summer PLAYBOOK Magazine, according to the city's page.
