Activities
A diverse and dynamic recreation program with activities for residents of all ages and during all seasons is offered through the Recreation and Parks Department under the leadership of recreation professionals.

Registration
Registration for all the department's programs is available at its office where, for a nominal fee, a park photo identification card for summer use of the tennis courts and swimming pools will be issued to each family member. Use of these public facilities is restricted to residents of the Town of Bedford but guests of residents who hold a current, valid Photo ID card are permitted to use the facilities for a fee. Details are available at the Recreation Office.

Summer Season
Traditionally, the summer recreation season begins with the opening of the Bedford Hills Pool on Memorial Day weekend with the Bedford Village and Katonah pools opening in mid-June. Residents can enjoy any of the Town's three parks including tennis courts, playgrounds, and picnic and swimming pool facilities.
