Liberty Lake to launch CivicRec online system for park and shelter reservations
Summary
City staff announced June 3 a soft launch of CivicRec, a parks and recreation software that will allow residents to reserve shelters, fields and community‑garden plots online and provide staff with a master reservations calendar; signage and QR codes will be installed in parks in coming weeks.
Liberty Lake staff announced a soft launch of a new parks and recreation reservation system, CivicRec, at the June 3 council meeting. The software will let residents reserve shelters, fields and future community‑garden plots online and allow staff to manage a master calendar and payments.
Parks staff member Mikael described features and timing: the system allows residents to make reservations through a mapping interface that shows park layouts and shelter locations, pay online, and scan QR codes on park signage to check availability on site. “The software will expedite reservation time for staff and allow us to better track, our reservations,” he said. Staff said custom park signage with QR codes is being produced and should be installed in a few weeks; a soft launch for public use was scheduled at the end of the week following the meeting.
Operational benefits and next steps: CivicRec is expected to reduce phone‑time for staff, minimize confusion about which shelter is reserved and improve tracking of volunteer sign‑ups and program registrations. City staff said the software will eventually be used for community‑garden plot rentals and volunteer tracking. Signage production and installation were described as the remaining near‑term tasks.
Ending: Council members welcomed the tool as a step to streamline reservations and reduce conflicts at parks; staff will provide follow‑up on the public launch date and signage rollout.
