Born from Community Feedback
How did this all come about? The app was developed after careful consideration of feedback from local community surveys. City leaders have really stepped up their game, saying the app is loaded with features designed to make your life just a bit easier. It’s like having a little helper right in your pocket!

Stay Updated with Push Notifications
But wait, there’s more! The app comes with handy push notifications that will keep you informed about field closures, special events, and anything else you need to know. You can finally relax, knowing that you won’t miss out on any important updates.
Access Made Easy

Early Success Stories
Stephanie Elmore from Madison Parks and Rec shared that the app is already making a splash with residents. “We’ve had about 200 downloads so far,” she said enthusiastically. “Just recently, someone booked a room rental through the app and told us how much they loved it! They found the process so much easier, and everything they needed was right there. It’s a very smooth transition.”
The Investment Behind the App
This app didn’t just materialize; it comes after the City Council gave a green light for funding back in March. Madison Parks and Rec will be spending $12,672 annually to keep the app running. Elmore mentioned that Vermont Systems, the company responsible for their software, allowed them to build the app tailored for the community’s needs. Elmore and her co-worker Christina Cox rolled up their sleeves to design the app from start to finish, focusing on user-friendliness and community engagement.
