Financial Assistance Available
Desert Recreation District programs, activities and
events are open to everyone. Your Desert Recreation
District works with our partner communities to provide
recreational activities and events that offer affordable
health and fitness benefits and are, most of all, FUN.
Because we are partially funded through tax dollars,
our program fees are low. However, some residents,
especially those with large families, may find it difficult
to participate.
The Desert Recreation Foundation works to raise funds
to make sure that recreation is available to everyone.
The Foundation’s Financial Assistance Program offers
subsidies up to $150 per person so that residents can
enjoy recreational activities and programs. Through the
generosity of donors and proceeds from fundraising
events, children have participated in basketball
leagues, gymnastics, tiny tots, holiday camps and after
school programs. Adults have used the program to pay
for annual fitness memberships and classes.
To learn more about qualifying for the Financial
Assistance Program, visit MyRecreationDistrict.com,
ask a DRD team member
at one of our Community
Centers, or call
(760) 347-3484.
