Registration and Policies

RecDesk Program Registration

Springfield Township Parks and Recreation utilizes an online registration program called RecDesk. The installation of RecDesk allows users to register for programs, view activity history, view payment history and much more!

Parents and guardians should list themselves as the head-of-household when making a family account. All contact information should be up-to-date in the event the Parks and Recreation Department should need to contact you regarding the program. 

Create your account at RecDesk Online. 

Step-by-step instructions can be found here.
