Recreation
In consideration of the health of its customers, the City of Encinitas Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department is actively taking steps to control the spread of COVID-19 while still providing services to the community. The Department will update plans as needed based on additional direction from public health officials.
As a result, many previously scheduled City programs and events are postponed, cancelled, or modified in accordance with County Health Order and recommendations.Additionally, the Encinitas Community and Senior Center is closed until further notice.
The City recognizes the importance for recreation in the community and is proud to offer online programming for children, adults and seniors. Quality instructors are excited to teach both in-person classes and online with offerings such as acting, soccer, T’ai Chi Chih, line dancing, Seaside Day Camp and even skateboarding. Also on the Department’s Virtual Recreation Center webpage, you’ll find a listing of Senior Assistance resources and links to online activities for various ages including fitness, fun and educational activities.
