How to Access Parks and Recreation Facilities and Programs

ID cards, memberships and ActiveNet streamline Irving’s Parks and Recreation services.

The City of Irving’s Parks and Recreation Department employs an integrated system to streamline resident access to its programs and facilities. At the core is the Parks and Recreation Identification Card, which serves as a secure, single-point credential for all services. This card is required for entry into programs and events, ensuring a seamless and efficient check-in process across all city-managed recreational activities.


Complementing the ID card is an affordable membership program, with annual memberships priced at $5 per person for residents. This structure not only increases accessibility but also supports the department’s operational funding, allowing for continuous improvements and expanded service offerings. Corporate and nonresident memberships are also available, broadening community engagement beyond local residents.


Central to managing these resources is the ActiveNet account system, an online platform that integrates registration, scheduling and membership renewal. Since its implementation, ActiveNet has reduced administrative processing times by approximately 20% and improved overall enrollment tracking. This technological innovation has led to a 30% increase in membership participation and enhanced the efficiency of program management, ensuring that residents have timely and reliable access to city services.


Together, the ID card, membership program, and Activenet system represent a cohesive strategy that enhances operational efficiency, improves customer experience, and supports Irving’s commitment to accessible and innovative community recreation services.
