The City of Saskatoon Spring/Summer Leisure Guide will be delivered to every home in Saskatoon on Wednesday, March 19, 2014, and can also be picked up at any Leisure Centre, Saskatoon Public Library location, or City Hall.  The guide will be available online beginning Monday, March 17, from www.saskatoon.ca/go/leisureguide.
The Leisure Guide contains everything you need to know about Saskatoon’s Leisure Centres and is the “go-to source” for fitness programs, recreational activities, and arts and culture opportunities for all ages and abilities.  Get a spring in your step by staying active throughout the warmer months with the many options provided by the City of Saskatoon!
 
Highlights of the Spring/Summer (April 1 to August 31, 2014) Leisure Guide include: 

  • 45 FREE Playground Programs in neighbourhoods across the city.  Drop in and make every day an adventure!
  • A new 2-week LeisureCard Trial Pass for families, adults, and youth so you can try before you buy. 
  • Bulk Tickets to use for admission at the four outdoor pools.
  • New lower rates for Juniors (8 to 12 years) at Silverwood Golf Course.
  • The return of the Sport & Splash Camp at Shaw Centre and Lawson Civic Centre.  The camp will also be offered during Easter Break at Shaw Centre!
  • Public, Parent & Tot, Family, and Lane swimming opportunities at the indoor and outdoor pools.
  • Preschool and children’s recreational registered programs such as Teddy Bears Picnic and Dunk, Dribble & Slam.
  • Adult, Teen, Beginner (Smart Start), Advanced, and Active Agers (50+ years) drop-in exercise classes, personal training, and registered fitness programs at the six indoor Leisure Centres.
  • Group Fitness Training for youth and adults at Shaw Centre and Saskatoon Field House.
  • A map of the six dog parks in Saskatoon - spend time outdoors with your furry friend!
  • And much, much more, including many arts, culture, and recreational services offered by other organizations in Saskatoon.

Registration for programs begins Sunday, March 23, at 6 p.m. by phoning 306-975-2800 or register online at leisureonline.saskatoon.ca.

Starting Monday, March 24, at 6:30 a.m., all six Leisure Centres will be accepting mail or walk-in registrations; phone registration begins at 8 a.m.  (Please note that walk-in registrations will not be accepted at any Leisure Centre on the first night of registration). 

Registered programs are very popular and fill up fast!  Many people will be registering Sunday evening, and the City of Saskatoon sincerely thanks our citizens for their patience.  While additional online and telephone resources are in place to make the process go as smoothly as possible, there are still thousands of people registering at once, so here are some tips to help you be prepared: 

  • You will require a client ID number and family PIN to register online.  To set one up or if you forgot yours, phone any Leisure Centre before Sunday, March 23. 
  • Have a list of second and third program choices, just in case you do not get into your first choice.
  • Join the waiting list.  Every full program has an online waiting list, and new classes may be created if there is enough demand.
  • Ensure your major web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome) is up to date.
