Bethel Park Implements CivicPlus® Recreation Management Solution

Bethel Park, PA — July 6, 2026 — Bethel Park Recreation announced today that they will be partnering with CivicPlus® to implement a new Recreation Management software for all recreation program registration.


CivicPlus® offers a cloud-based solution that provides residents with better access to parks and recreation activities, classes, leagues, and facility reservations through seamless online registration and payment. The transition to CivicPlus® allows for a more intuitive and easier to use registration platform, as well as provides users with a mobile-friendly experience on any device.


“We’re thrilled to bring this new software to our community. It’s designed to make participation easier than ever—from navigating offerings to receiving updates and registering for programs,” said Lindsey Sibert, Assistant Recreation Director for Bethel Park Recreation. “We are confident it will streamline the user experience, enhance accessibility and usability, and make it simpler for our community to stay informed.”


Residents will be able to search for and reserve community facilities such as pavilions and meeting rooms, all conveniently online. The new website will also allow residents to manage their family accounts, view registration history, and receive important program updates, making participation easier than ever.


The new CivicPlus® website will be available to view starting on July 13, 2026 and registration on CivicPlus® will open on August 10, 2026 for fall program registration.


Starting on July 13, 2026, residents who already have a RecDesk account will be able to use the same email to log in to CivicPlus®, after prompting a password reset. Residents who never had an account with the previous system will be able to create a new account on CivicPlus® as well.


Additional information will be shared throughout the transition on the Municipality’s website at www.bethelparkpa.gov and social media channels listed at https://www.bethelparkpa.gov/connect/social
