Surfside Launches Parks and Recreation Mobile App in Latest “Mondays with the Manager” Episode

 

The Town of Surfside is making it easier than ever for residents to stay connected with recreation programs, thanks to the launch of a new Parks and Recreation mobile app. The innovative tool is featured in the latest episode of "Mondays with the Manager," where Parks and Recreation Director Adrian Hernandez joins Town Manager Mark Blumstein to walk residents through the app’s key features.

From registering for youth and adult programs to checking in at facilities and paying outstanding balances, the app offers a seamless digital experience for residents. Users can also receive real-time notifications about upcoming events, weather-related cancellations, and program updates.

“This app is about enhancing convenience and improving the way we engage with our residents,” Hernandez said. “We’re excited to provide a centralized platform that makes it easier to enjoy all the Parks and Recreation Department has to offer.”

In the episode, Director Hernandez gives a hands-on demonstration of how to use the app’s barcode for quick facility check-ins, and how to track payments, view registrations, and update account information all from a mobile device.

Town Manager Blumstein emphasized the importance of using technology to improve service delivery.

“We’re always looking for ways to bring Town services directly to our residents’ fingertips,” Blumstein said. “This app is a great example of how we’re modernizing operations to better serve our community.”

"Mondays with the Manager" is a recurring video series produced by the Town, offering residents a behind-the-scenes look at Town initiatives, services, and community programs. Each episode features key community information, providing transparent updates and valuable information to help keep the residents informed and engaged.
