After School Programs

The Austin Parks and Recreation Department offers after school programs for the community that foster youth development in a safe and caring environment. The four core components include a healthy snack, active play, enrichment and homework help. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 3:10-6:00 p.m., except on City of Austin or school holidays. The 2025-2026 After School Program flyer has more details.  A map of all locations can be found here.  A list of schools that PARD picks up from can be found below.
