Looking for ways to get your little one involved in sports and/or educational programs that will develop their skills and abilities? We offer several sports and programs that help young children learn and participate in fun, supportive environments. 

Kids will learn the basic fundamentals in sports such as basketball, baseball, soccer and floor hockey. There are also dance classes, swimming lessons, a learn to skate program and other interactive programs like dino adventures and story times.

Register for any of our Preschool Programs online, in-person at the Parks & Rec Office (8055 Barbara Ave.) or by phone at 651-450-2585.

Weather impacts to city-led programs and activities

Wondering if your program or sports practice/game is cancelled? IGHs Weather Hot Line (651-450-2595) is the only place to check the status for city-led program and events due to inclement weather. We strive to update by 4:30 p.m. After hours, it is up to the coaches and instructors to make the final decision.
