Signing up for Jackson recreation programs has never been easier thanks to a big improvement from the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. A new online recreation registration system recently went live and is modernizing the way residents sign up for programs, reserve facilities, and get information.
The mobile-friendly portal is accessed through the Parks and Recreation section of the City website, cityofjackson.org. All available programs, events, and facilities are ready to view on the site. By creating an account through the website, residents can save information and easily sign up for programs with a few clicks. This will make registering more convenient for parents with children who frequently participate in programs. Parks and Recreation staff say the new system improves communication to residents. Rosters, schedules, notices and cancellations can all be sent to participants in text messages and emails through the system. There’s also a calendar feature to keep track of activities.
The Parks and Recreation Department previously relied on in-person registration and payments. “We found that was a barrier for some residents to sign up for programs,” said Parks and Recreation Director Kelli Hoover. “This new system means more convenient access for residents to get active and take advantage of all that our wonderful programs and beautiful parks have to offer!”
A video that explains how the new system works is available on this page. Paper forms and in-person registration will still be available at the Parks and Recreation Department, 5th Floor of Jackson City Hall.
