PARK MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE
Public parks have always been popular gathering places for the citizens of cities and towns. But while the public goes to parks to have fun, the municipalities themselves have to manage these spaces and all their infrastructure. The day in the life of Parks Maintenance is a video of a city Parks & Rec department that describes various aspects performed by maintenance staff daily.
From mowing the lawns to maintaining the fountains to tracking what park maintenance workers are doing, there’s a lot to remember. The old way of doing asset management, with paper files and map books, is inefficient.
To optimize your park management operations and allocate your resources more wisely, there’s park maintenance software from Novo Solutions. Check your assets’ conditions, place work orders, and track costs at a glance, from wherever you are.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Tina Cheek, Director of Parks and Recreation
“Our onboarding process with Novo went great here in Oxford. Several of our departments are using Novo Solutions, and so we’re able to have implementation meetings early on. We had a lot of conversations with the Novo team, got our questions answered quickly, and were given really good information on what the NovoGov product could do. And so far, everything is working exactly like we were told it would. Now we’re just really enjoying the system and know we can reach out to Novo with any questions, at any time.”
Dennis Meshaw, Park Maintenance Superintendent for Parks & Recreation
“Before NovoGov, on the ShareNet Platform, we were using spreadsheets to track all our equipment needs. So, when we had a piece of equipment go to the shop, whether it’s a tractor or a weed-eater, we would track it on a spreadsheet. Now with NovoGov, we’re able to compile all that information in real time and we can just log in and we have all that information available to us. It has streamlined things, and it puts it all in a central location. I can look at it, my director can look at it, and my staff can look at it. So, Share Net’s been great!”
How Our Park Maintenance Software Can Help You
As a Parks & Rec Director or Supervisor for your city, town, village, or other small municipality, it’s your job to keep your public parks safe and in perfect working order for the public.
Parks are typically aesthetically focused areas where people can spend time on the grass, enjoy the greenery, and use the water fountains and restrooms as needed.
Then there are the pavilions, swimming pools, playgrounds, footpaths, and recycling areas.
The different parts of parks and recreation maintenance are just too much to remember without a system for keeping it all together. That’s what Novo Solutions offers you: a cloud-based app that aggregates all your park maintenance software data and presents it to you in easily digestible sections.
Here are three main ways our parks and recreation enterprise asset management system software can help your municipality.
Inventory Management
Public parks encompass all kinds of infrastructure and other kinds of inventory. As we mentioned, these items include everything from water piping to restrooms to landscaping. You need to be able to see the installation dates and conditions of all these things in one place. Using GIS technology, our NovoGov Operations Management system lets you access a map showing all your assets for your convenience.
Then, you’ll know which assets need repairs and which are likely good to go for the next few months or years.
Work Orders
Whether park maintenance is performed by park staff or repair jobs are outsourced, the Novo Solutions software lets you manage both types of work orders. If work is performed internally, park staff can create, view, and update work orders on their desktop or mobile device. For outsourced jobs, you can create work orders and associate them with known vendors you have saved from previous jobs. Vendors can be automatically notified of new work orders via email.
Efficient Spending
When you’re able to see your assets and schedule out maintenance all at once, you can easily predict how much your municipality will be spending over the next several months to a year or more. This should help you plan out your finances, since you’ll know where every dollar is going and when it will be due.
That’s how Novo Solutions lets you rein in inefficiency and run a tighter park maintenance operation.
Let Us Optimize Your Park Maintenance System
Any small or medium-sized municipality that runs parks and recreation maintenance can benefit from our municipal asset management software. Get a better handle on your assets and tighten your financial control of needed repairs, and your city or town’s operations will run much more efficiently.
