Tech Trends in Parks and Recreation: 2023 and Beyond
What we learned from the 2023 NRPA Conference and why we’re excited
Christina Eschbacher
Demand Generation Manager
Our parks are the heartbeat of our community. For parks and recreation leaders responsible for caring for and maintaining open spaces that have lasted generations, the techniques used to manage programs and content with residents are not impervious to change. Instead, a constant evolution of technology, management practices, and recreational focus is critical to ongoing engagement and relevancy.
After attending the 2023 NRPA conference (5/5 would recommend), we’re excited to share the top trends we expect to see in 2024 and how we plan to evolve our tech strategies to support the leaders who care for our communities.
In 2023, virtual engagement became a game-changer for parks and recreation departments. Virtual tours, augmented reality experiences, and interactive apps allowed park and recreation leaders to extend their reach and engage with wider audiences. In 2024, we can expect even more sophisticated AR applications, enhancing visitor experiences and creating new educational opportunities.
Virtual engagement and augmented reality aren’t just gimmicks but powerful tools to enrich the park experience. Consider these possible AR applications for our parks and public spaces:
As technology continues to evolve, expect AR applications that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, offering a truly immersive experience.
Environmentally-focused parks and recreation leaders inherently focus on sustainability in every process. Fortunately, awareness of sustainability issues is growing among the average resident. Smart infrastructure, including energy-efficient lighting, water-saving technologies, and waste management systems, will continue to be at the forefront in 2024. These innovations reduce environmental impact and lead to cost savings for municipal departments.
In 2024 and beyond, we’re expecting to see growing use of the following smart infrastructure items:
Smart infrastructure benefits the environment and helps park authorities better manage resources. Expect continued advancements in renewable energy solutions, automated water management systems, and waste reduction strategies that make parks more eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Harnessing the power of data has long been a cornerstone for effective park management, but with tight budgets and resources, it remains vital. In 2023, data analytics tools provided insights into visitor behavior, facility usage, and program effectiveness. In 2024, expect even more sophisticated analytics platforms that offer real-time data, enabling parks and recreation professionals to make informed decisions and adapt to changing needs. Imagine what you could do with the following tools:
Data is the key to improving park services and making them more responsive to community needs. Look for advanced data analytics tools that provide real-time data, predictive analysis, and user-friendly interfaces, enabling park managers to make data-driven decisions that enhance visitor experiences.
CivicPlus® is an excellent choice in state-of-the-art parks and recreation software for all your department needs, including instructor scheduling. Our solution specialists are ready to speak with you for all your recreation management needs.
