By looking out your window, you would never know that it’s almost springtime! With March comes a new session of the East Greenwich Parks and Recreation Department’s programs! Registrations are now being accepted at the office at 1127 Frenchtown Road and online.

The department will be offering multiple youth athletic and fitness classes: Squeaky Sneakers, All Sports, Little Yoga and Gymnastics classes for the preschoolers, Self- Defense, Youth Tennis Lessons, Shape Up and Beginner Skateboarding for youths and teens.

Various arts and learning classes are also being offered and include Picture Book Theater, Imitating the Masters, What’s Out There?-Nature Exploration and Family Music for preschoolers and for the older youths there is Robotics.

Adults and seniors can usher in the spring with day trips to Roger Williams Park Botanical Center, the South County Museum, the Butterfly Place & Kimball Farm, and Roseland Cottage. A great way to get outside and discover hidden treasures of the state is with the adventurous Ramblers- Hiking Group, starting March 19th and up to May 28th.
