CHICAGO, IL – January 26, 2012 – The Active Network, Inc. (NYSE: ACTV), Clarity Partners and the Chicago Park District have teamed up to launch a new e-commerce recreation management system for facilities throughout more than 8,100 acres of Chicago Park District property. Launched this month, the robust online system manages facility usage for many of the Chicago Park District’s assets including 280 staffed park recreation centers, over 500 baseball fields, 26 indoor and 51 outdoor pools, 71 fitness centers, 22 artificial turf fields, 8 gymnastic centers, and 2 conservatories. Furthermore, the system allows patrons the convenience of browsing park programs and events and registering online, and is expected to allow purchasing of certain permits and reserving rental spaces online later this year.

Chicago is the 3rd largest city in the U.S. and is among 60 of the top 100 cities¹ in North America which have deployed Active Network’s ActiveNet® recreation software to manage a range of activities, including program management, facility reservations, league scheduling, payment processing and e-commerce operations. Clarity Partners—which has worked with the City of Chicago since the early 2000s—managed the overall design and launch of the Chicago Park District e-commerce project, including the integration of ActiveNet software. In February, the Chicago Park District is expected to open registration for its spring program session.

“We look forward to working with the ActiveNet system for the efficiency and streamlining benefits it is designed to bring to our program registration process,” said Chicago Park District General Superintendent and CEO Michael Kelly.
