Pros

“We have also been able to transition to online reservations for all of our rental facilities, which saves so much time and paperwork and eliminates human error as well as the amount of cash changing hands.”
SO

Shellie O.

Events Director

“Affordable cost for the product: It's affordable and covers all of our needs membership, credit cards processing, registrations, facility reservations, calendars, along with data for budget season and so much more.”
JK

John K.

Recreation Director

“We also use it to rent out our community center and it has made that process easier as well.”
LL

Lori L.

Asst

Executive Director

Cons

“You will still need space management software and event software - both features of RecDesk are poor.”
BP

Bill P.

Executive Director

“It was difficult to find some of the activities or programs because they were not in order by date and the registration fee was not on recdesk when I first registered my grandson. ”
EM

Evelyn M.

Recreation Leader

“I make all of my schedules on a schedule maker and then have to hand-upload them all and it takes forever.”
TK

Todd K.

Recreation Manager

Cons

“It is more of a facility problem that we have pools that switch from long course meters to short course yards.”
