While winter will most likely stick around for the next few weeks, the city of Alpharetta is encouraging residents to start planning for their spring and summer recreation adventures.

Registration for a multitude of programs offered by the Alpharetta Recreation and Parks Department opened last week to a select group of citizens and will expand next week to include all residents.

Priority registration launched Jan. 28 for all Alpharetta residents and returning Milton residents who participated in the same recreation program during the prior season/session. Registration for Milton residents started Wednesday, Feb. 4 and these citizens are eligible to register in person at any city recreation facility during regular business hours.

Alpharetta residents may register online, in person, by fax, or by emailing a completed Activity Registration Form to recreation@alpharetta.ga.us. However, due to limitations with the online computer registration software, returning Milton residents must register in person at any ARPD facility during business hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Open registration begins Wednesday, Feb. 11, and is open to anyone interested in participating in Alpharetta programs. These residents may register online, in person, by fax, or by email.

Residents can jump online to browse a complete list of programs available in the Spring/Summer Leisure Guide (March-August 2015) on the city department’s website.

Some of the highlights include:

• Youth activities include varied spring/summer/specialty camps, art enrichment and camera fun, sportykes and instructional sports, gymnastics, dance, Lil’ Vibe fun fitness, tennis, karate, swim team and swim lessons.
