Maryland Heights, MO

Unless otherwise stated in the description, registration will remain open until the day before the program begins. All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment. If the program meets its maximum enrollment, no other patrons will be able to sign up so it is important to register early if you are interested! 

If a program does not meet its minimum enrollment requirement, it may be canceled. Any patrons that have signed up for a program that is canceled due to low enrollment will receive a refund (see below for our refund policy).

Occasionally, programs/events are canceled due to weather. Depending on the program, a Recreation Specialist will contact you or it will be posted on our social media pages, the City's website and via the MHparks mobile app.
