Town of Watertown
Our mission is to enrich the lives of the residents of Watertown by providing quality programs, activities, welcoming facilities, and parks. We are dedicated to excellence, professionalism, and integrity in the delivery of community services for an enhanced quality of life for those living, working, and visiting our community.
The Parks & Recreation Department offers a variety of recreation opportunities for all ages, all seasons. Check our website often to see what programs, events and activities are being offered. If you have questions, or need assistance with our online registrations contact us at the office (860)945-5246.
Please help us! Nothing jeopardizes a recreation program more than waiting until the last minute to register. Our programs require facility scheduling, staffing, volunteer recruitment, and supplies. Your prompt enrollment will assist us to ensure programs run as planned, adequate shirts and supplies are ordered and programs are not cancelled due to low enrollment.
If you do not already have an account, please create an account with all your household information. The data provided; emergency contacts, allergies info and more, will help us better serve you!
