Okay, up till now, we’ve done all the talking. Frankly, we think you’d be crazy not to choose Emerge’s Park and Rec Online Software to help your organization boost productivity and ignite revenue. But admittedly, we’re biased. So, for the moment, forget about what we think.
Hear what others have to say about the Emerge Parks and Rec Online Software:
“We selected Emerge because of their valuable experience in providing online solutions for the parks & recreation industry in Ohio, and we were not disappointed. They know our industry and took time to learn what is unique about our agency and its operations. Their approach to problem solving is simple and smart, and so are the products they deliver.
I couldn’t be happier with my choice of using Emerge for our Park Reservation System. Their team was easy to work with and demonstrated excellent customer service, cutting-edge technical skills and dedication to getting the job done right. They have allowed us to empower staff members to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively and to better serve our park district constituents.”

“MetroParks of Butler County chose Emerge, Inc. for our recreation needs. The staff has been helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive as they build our program. Of all the products we looked at, Emerge’s was the most user-friendly for both the public and staff. It has multiple features to help with not only being able to make accurate reservations and program registrations, but also can be used for scheduling and tracking of facility and program usage and fees. It will be so much more efficient and time-saving than the reservation/program software that we currently use.”
Kim Geisler, Supervisor of Financial Services
MetroParks of Butler County
“As the Information Systems Manager for the Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District, I have had the opportunity to work with Emerge, Inc. on a number of projects, and we have always been pleased with the results. For our first project with Emerge, we migrated our in-house facility reservation system to an online system developed by Emerge. The project was fairly complex, as we developed customized specifications for virtually every aspect of the self-service web site used by the public and for the administrative controls used by our own staff.”
Systems development is an iterative process, that is, it requires a lot of coding, testing, recoding, retesting, etc. to get it working in a way that works best for its users. Emerge staff members were patient with us during the process, easy to work with, accommodating, and responsive. They were also helpful in the design process, from time to time, by suggesting more efficient processes than we had envisioned when we developed our specifications.
Since that initial project, we have also worked with Emerge to develop a newsletter e-mailing system and a summer camp registration system, as well as some additional smaller projects. Each of these projects has gone very smoothly, and the systems work well.”

“Working with Emerge the past year and a half has been easy and enjoyable. Each question I have receives a quick answer; each concern, a quick fix. Before my time here, Emerge also designed Geauga Park District an online reservation system – a saving grace for busy administrative staff and a joy for park patrons to use. Now I can’t imagine a time without it. Likewise the page designed for at-home volunteer sign-ups streamlined our record-keeping and gave volunteers ownership of their own schedule. Geauga Park District receives many compliments about how user-friendly these systems are, thanks to Emerge and its helpful, personable staff.”
Sandy Ward, Communications Specialist

“Emerge was wonderful to work with in developing the online registration system for the City of Avon Lake. They took the time to learn our needs and develop something both functional and user friendly. The system was widely used by members of the community and it allowed us more staff time for analyzing existing programs, developing new programs and other administrative tasks. I would highly recommend Emerge to other communities and organizations with registration and web-based needs.”
Alexandria Nichols, Parks & Rec Director (former) – City of Avon Lake
