The Columbus Recreation and Parks Department operates 28 Recreation Centers located throughout the city of Columbus. Each center offers a wide variety of programs. Classes are offered for people age 2 and up, including adults and seniors. Athletic leagues are available as well as many special events. Many classes are free or charge nominal fees. Scholarships are also offered through P.L.A.Y. Each center's offerings are different; use the search option to find out when and where a class is offered. You do not need to be a resident of Columbus to register, participate or just enjoy one of our many facilities. However, a Columbus Recreation and Parks Department LEISURE CARD is required.
