Township upgrades to digital portal for program sign-ups and field rentals
Say goodbye to the hassle of paper forms and restricted office hours. The Bensalem Township Parks and Recreation Department has officially launched a brand-new online registration system. This digital upgrade allows residents to sign up for programs, activities, and field rentals from the comfort of their own homes, 24/7.
The Details
According to an announcement from the department, this move is part of a broader effort to modernize township services and improve the experience for local families. The new website serves as a “one-stop shop” where residents can browse available programs, handle secure payments, and receive real-time updates on upcoming events and news.
While actual registration windows for specific programs (like the popular summer camp) will still open on set dates, the system is live now for account creation. Parks and Rec officials are strongly encouraging all residents—especially those who have participated in programs in the past—to visit the new site immediately to set up a “family account.” By entering your information now, your details will be pre-filled when registration opens, making the actual sign-up process much faster.
Why It Matters to Bensalem
For years, signing up for high-demand programs in Bensalem often required physical paperwork or visiting the township building during specific hours. This new system levels the playing field for working parents who can’t step away during the day to handle registration.
However, this also means the “race” for spots in competitive programs (like the Summer Recreation Playground Camp mentioned in our previous report) will happen digitally. If you wait until registration day to create your account, you might lose precious minutes while others are already checking out. Taking five minutes to set up your profile now could be the difference between securing a spot for your child or sitting on a waitlist.
