The City of Burlington offers both registered programs and drop-in programs. Registered programs reserve your spot for several consecutive weeks in an activity. Drop-in programs provide no long-term commitment and offer flexible attendance by paying as you play with single admission fees. We run our programs in seven recreational hubs throughout the City.
Adult 19+ is a general age guideline that means adults of all ages are welcome and can enjoy intergenerational fun and learning. Adult 55+ programs provide activities paced and designed with the interests of this age group in mind. Meet new friends, keep active and explore your interests in one of our Adult Programs.
We offer activities in different formats including:
- Indoor in-person
- Outdoor in-person
- Telephone
- Virtual online

Meet for coffee before or after a program or just enjoy a home-style pastry and tea among friendly faces in this bustling environment. Modified service is currently available. Hot-plate service is temporarily unavailable.
