About RecDesk
RecDesk is a cloud-based recreation management platform designed to simplify the way recreation organizations and nonprofits in the US and Canada manage their operations. The software includes tools for managing facility schedules, programs and activities, memberships, leagues, billing and invoicing, email marketing, reporting, and more.
RecDesk’s form builder allows users to create custom paperless forms, including enrollment forms, health assessments, and liability waivers, which can be completed online by customers. With the drag-and-drop editor, users can add a range of elements to forms, and forms can be integrated into activity, program, or membership sign-up workflows. Through the RecDesk community portal, customers can register for programs, reserve facilities, make payments, and view activity and payment histories online. Payments can be processed through Stripe, Authorize.net, and PayPal Payments Pro, and RecDesk can be integrated with a range of accounting systems to manage activity and journal entries.
With RecDesk, users can manage a range of activities and programs, with the ability to set minimum and maximum enrollment levels, enrollment start and end dates, and multiple fees and fee types, create recurring schedules, record program attendance, capture expenses, manage and export rosters, and more. Online facility reservations can also be offered, allowing the customers to browse available dates through the community portal, and reserve specific dates and times. The master calendar gives users an overview of all facility reservations, whether initiated internally or by members, and any scheduled programs or activities. Each facility also has an individual usage calendar, and users can switch between daily, weekly, and monthly calendar views.

The customer service has been great and the software has been the most important part of sustaining growth in our Town programs.
Pros
I use the Point of Sale module for a park that has beach access and a snack shack. With using this feature we have tripled revenues over the last three years. It helps with inventory control in the snack shack, collecting daily admissions, and invoicing our cabin rentals.
The program registration module also is very user-friendly and has put 99% of my registrations on the customer side which relieves me of a lot of administrative time.
Cons
I wish the user side had more customizable features to have a unique website layout. It is still a clean layout.

Overall, this has been a game changer for us and I am very pleased with the program. I really don't have anything negative to say as we love the program here. We also love that they are always evolving and updating things. Thank you!!
Pros
- Programs management and how easy it is to create them. Love the feature of "create one just like this" - saves us so much time!
- I personally LOVE flex forms and we utilize this for many different programs. I higly recommend that people use Flex Forms.
- The dashboard is a great tool when you want to see any changes quickly that have happened recently. I like to use this after a program is posted or after sharing the registrations to see popular times people sign up and how many.
Cons
- I wish we could also search by first name
- It would also be nice to add photos for promotional purposes in the programs

Our experience with RecDesk has been phenomenal. I can't imagine anyone having better customer service. The RecDesk team is always so patient even when I ask the dumbest questions. New enhancements are always rolling out, and they always take into consideration improvements you would like to see. A++
Pros
The ease of online registration is the best! I can't imagine going back to pen and paper. It's so easy to get practice/game schedules to everyone. Rescheduling a rain out is literally the click of a button. Drafting teams is so easy along with immediately being able to give coaches a team roster.
Cons
Everything is pretty great although I wish there was a RecDesk app!

Pros
It's so much easier than using our old system. It's more user friendly and it's easier to navigate through the system
Cons
Certain reports we were able to generate on our old system are not available or you need to run multiple reports to generate the same information. Made some requests for these changes.
