It's registration time for some of the Triangle-area parks programs.

If you're not familiar with the process, the region's parks programs send out big booklets every three to six months or so filled with dozens and dozens of sports, arts, aquatic, nature and educational programs. Many are dirt cheap and fill up. So it's best to check the listings for your community and get registered.

Here's what I've found so far ...

Raleigh: Mail-in registration started March 31. Walk-in and online registration starts April 14. Raleigh's Leisure Ledger (something about the word "leisure" just makes me laugh) has the most offerings of all Triangle parks systems and they really are surprisingly affordable. It's a little bit more expensive ($10 to $12) if you don't live in the city limits, but still worth a look especially if you live nearby or work in the city. Click here for details.

Wake Forest: Summer camp registration begins April 6. Swim lesson registration starts June 1. And fall baseball and softball starts June 8. Click here for a link to find the town's RecConnect brochure.
