Do you live near a playground, walking/biking trails, a skating rink, or tennis courts? Do you have access to a playschool, a playgroup or after school care in your community? If these programs are offered in a community league building they are often subsidized by your community league and assist organizations in offering affordable programs to members and residents of our community. As summer approaches many of the playgrounds in this area will be staffed with playground leaders, skateboard and tennis coaches. These programs are drop in programs that are free to the public and yes, your community leagues finance them with membership dollars, grants and fundraising.

Further benefits of maintaining a community league membership include free community swim on Saturdays, a 20% discount towards an annual or continuous monthly membership and 15% discount on multi admission passes at City of Edmonton recreation facilities, and free skate tags. Your community league also organizes celebrations in each of your neighborhoods that promote community spirit and cohesiveness. Even if you do not participate in any of the above programs or take advantage of the events or facilities in your community, we hope that you agree that community leagues help make our community a better place to live, work and play.
