Fall 2026 Encinitas Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts Activity Guide

EncinitasParksandRec.com

Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Arts: Celebrating the Unique Spirit of Encinitas Our Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department exists to strengthen the heart of our community. Every park we maintain, every class or program we offer, and every cultural experience we create is designed to bring people together, support healthy lifestyles, and celebrate the unique spirit of our city. We are proud to share this Fall Activity Guide as an essential resource for our entire community. It connects you to everything we offer and reflects our commitment to enhancing community life where everyone belongs.

This guide highlights the many ways to enjoy the autumn season with us. Inside, you will find opportunities for all ages. Youth can explore a variety of programs, from outdoor adventures to creative arts. Adults and families will discover classes, events, and experiences that bring people together and help you make the most of our parks, beaches, trails, and cultural spaces.

If you enjoy music, be sure to check out our uninstructed group music sessions at the Pacific View Arts Center. For community members aged 50 and older, our “Artventures Day Trips” continue this fall with transportation from the Encinitas Community and Senior Center to destinations such as the Phantom of the Opera.

This fall is especially meaningful as Encinitas celebrates its 40th anniversary. To honor this milestone, we invite you to join our Back to the 80s themed celebration on Saturday, October 3. It is a fun way to recognize the decade our city was founded and to celebrate four decades of creativity, connection, and coastal character.

I encourage you to take a moment to explore this guide and learn about the arts, recreation, and community programs we offer.

AGES 50+ Dance for Fitness & Fun

Windows for Seniors: Introduction to Windows 11

This welcoming class will energize your body, stimulate your mind, and uplift your spirit as we engage in mindful movement and simple dance routines that promote overall fitness and make us feel good! No experience needed and modifications are available to support all abilities. Come as you are and leave with a smile.

Computers are provided—nothing to bring. Windows 11 looks and feels different from older versions of Windows, and if your computer recently updated, it can feel like starting from scratch.

In this friendly, hands-on class, Sergi (Your Tech Tutor) will walk you through the new layout, show you how to find your files, apps, and settings, and help you feel confident and comfortable on your computer again. No prior Windows 11 experience required.
