Los Gatos-Saratoga Community Education and Recreation is a joint powers agency formed in 1956 by the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. Commonly known as “LGS Recreation”, the department was organized by the three local school districts as a separate joint powers agency to ensure the effective and efficient provision of fee-based community education and recreation services to the communities of Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Mountain and Surrounding Communities.

WE CREATE EXPERIENCES COME BE A PART OF THEM!
