Recreation Program

Recreation Program The Recreation Program is primarily advertised with Sausalito residents in the Sausalito and its Community Magazine. This publication is produced by the Parks and Recreation Department. We also advertise on the City’s webpage and offer on-line registration options. You may have also seen the beautiful fliers we have on display throughout city hall, some outside of the library along the hallway and many more downstairs by the Recreation Department counter. Of course we also maintain a friendly front-desk experience for anyone who wants to register in person or on the phone!
