Get ready to sweat it up, cool down with a swim or learn something new this summer because the Seattle Parks and Recreation has just dropped its hot list of summer classes and activities for all ages, and the lineup is looking solid. Set to kick off with registrations opening May 21, 2024, Seattleites can feast their eyes on the jam-packed brochures on the Seattle Parkways website, where details on the summer's offerings from drop-in fitness rooms to tot gyms await discovery.

For those itching to jump through hoops or dunk one for the team, basketball is on the books, and so is a variety of other activities designed to get hearts pumping. Meanwhile, adults aged 50 and better won't be left lounging in deck chairs unless they choose to, with a summer spread that includes the Sound Steps walking program and Rainbow Recreation, keeping the spirit of vibrancy and community engagement alive among Seattle's more seasoned residents.

The doors to new experiences aren't just open; they're wide open with scholarship opportunities for those needing financial aid to dive into these programs. Seattle Parks and Recreation ensures that the joys of summer fun and learning are accessible to everyone, announcing this with a clear call to action on their website, "Scholarships (financial aid) available!"

Those interested don't need to wait until the leaves are green to get their plans in place, detailed information on how to snag these scholarships, which must be approved prior to registration to bag the discounts, can be found on the Seattle Parks and Recreation's scholarship and financial aid page.
