The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) has over 18 million annual visits to its 182 park properties. Active Network's Software as a Service (SaaS) model allows MPRB to consolidate all registration data history into a single database, enabling them to customize reports, access real-time activity information and scheduling, utilize ecommerce capabilities, offer point of sale purchasing, and much more.

"We have invested substantial resources in our alliance with Active and we anticipate reaping significant benefit with the re-launch of our Spirit Sites this fall, powered by Active," stated Richard Pomije, CEO of DigitalTown. "This contract with MPRB is illustrative of the types of synergies we anticipate over the coming years between our companies as we provide syndication of consumer information from several of Active's divisions.
