Come Give Us a Look; Experience Membership Benefits for Yourself

As the weather starts to get colder in Michigan, people are looking for indoor options. A Kirksey Recreation Center membership could be your answer.

If you've only participated in programs or specific classes, come give us a look. There are several benefits to membership, including earlier registration access and lower program registration fees.

If you currently use day passes, you could even be saving money with a membership if you're averaging at least two visits per month.

Already a current member? Did you know you can receive a $15 credit on your account to use toward programs (no cash value) if you refer someone who signs up for a membership?

Visit Livonia.gov/1606 via LivoniaParks.org to learn more about our membership options and the numerous benefits available to members only.
