Recreation management for small parks departments, priced on your annual revenue with no contract
As of 31 August 2026, MyRec.com's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Registration, facility booking and point of sale for municipal recreation departments, sold on an annual fee scaled to the department revenue with setup, training and all features included. Softwr lists it under Government. MyRec.com is available on Web.
Overview
What MyRec.com does
MyRec.com sells recreation management software to parks and recreation departments: programme and activity registration, facility and field reservations, memberships, point of sale, league scheduling, household accounts and reporting. It is deliberately aimed at the small and mid-sized department that cannot fund an enterprise recreation system. The pricing approach is what distinguishes it. Rather than modules and seat counts, MyRec charges one annual fee calculated from the department annual revenue, published through a calculator on its own site, with site build, onboarding, training, unlimited user accounts, all current and future features and support included and no long-term contract. Third-party directories place the entry point somewhere between roughly 2,850 and 3,445 US dollars a year. For a department comparing against a vendor that funds itself through participant service fees, the comparison is stark: MyRec charges the department and lets it choose its own card processor, so residents are not surcharged by the software vendor. Buyers are town and small city recreation departments, often with one or two full-time staff. The trade-off is scale and depth. MyRec does not attempt aquatic centre membership management, complex permitting or integration with a municipal ERP, and a large city with a hundred facilities will find it thin. Its whole proposition is that a department of that size should not be buying an enterprise system in the first place.
What people use it for
- A town recreation department of one or two staff moving off paper registration forms and a shared spreadsheet
- A department that wants to choose its own payment processor rather than accept the software vendor rate
- Replacing a system that charges per module, where every new programme type triggered an upsell
- A department needing field permits and league scheduling without buying a facilities management suite
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about MyRec.com.
- The annual fee scales with department revenue, so a successful department pays more for the same software as its programme income grows.
- It is built for small and mid-sized departments and lacks the permitting, aquatics and multi-facility depth a large city requires.
- Credit card processing is explicitly excluded from the fee, so the total cost depends on a merchant agreement the department must source and negotiate itself.
- Integration surface is thin, with no meaningful connection to municipal ERP or finance systems, meaning revenue reconciliation is a manual export.
- The vendor is small, so there is limited third-party consulting capacity and a narrow bench for support during peak registration periods.
