Classes, Registration & Financial Assistance
Magnolia participates in Seattle Parks’ citywide community-center registration system. Registered offerings vary by season and can include arts, sports, dance, youth activities, camps and lifelong recreation.
| Winter 2026/27 Registration Milestone | Date |
|---|---|
| Basketball sports leagues | Opened October 6, 2026 |
| Community centers, citywide athletics, lifelong recreation and specialized programs | December 8, 2026 |
Seattle Parks states that income-qualified households may receive 50%–90% scholarships for eligible recreation activities and childcare. Apply for financial aid before registration when possible so the approved discount is attached to the household account.
Childcare, Camps & Family Programs
Magnolia offers school-age childcare, including before- and after-school programming. Enrollment and fees are handled separately from ordinary drop-in recreation.
Seattle Parks lists Magnolia among its camp locations. The 2026 camp page flags Magnolia’s school-age care camp as using a new location, so confirm the exact camp site in your registration confirmation.
Tot Gym serves children age 5 and younger, and the center hosts seasonal community events such as the Spring Egg Hunt, Magnolia Summer Fest, toddler Halloween activities and gingerbread-house decorating.

How to Reserve a Magnolia Room or Gym

- Prepare the event details. Have your preferred date, backup date, start/end time, guest count, activity type and kitchen or equipment needs ready.
- Call 206-386-4235. Ask whether the space is available and which City rental classification applies.
- Request the full cost. Confirm the hourly charge, booking fee, staffing, equipment, deposit, kitchen minimum and any special permits or insurance.

- Keep the agreement. Save the approved setup, cleanup, access and event conditions for the day of your rental.
