Parks & Recreation Department

Welcome to the Amherst Parks & Recreation Department!

Amherst Recreation Department is excited to announce our transition to a new registration software — RecDesk!

We invite you to get started by setting up your account. Accounts will not carry over from the old software so new accounts need to be created.
Visit our RecDesk portal: https://amherstnh.recdesk.com/Community/Home
Create your account by following the simple process.

Programs are already open in RecDesk.  

At this time registration for the only following programs is still in our old software.  There will be nothing new in the old software going forward.  Myrec can be found at https://amherstnh.myrec.com/info/default.aspx
