New Look for Online Registration
Milwaukee Recreation has unveiled a new look for our online registration process at mkerec.net!

While some items may look different now, the system is easier to navigate than ever before! On the main registration page, you can search for specific classes with an activity code (listed in the Summer Recreation Guide) or a keyword (i.e. "yoga"). You can also find classes by navigating through the specific program areas on the main page, such as "Adult Enrichment" or "Aquatics."
