Shakopee Parks and Recreation department's new software is built with mobility in mind New registration system As fall programs open for registration, Shakopee Parks and Recreation will move to a new registration system. On Aug. 23, the city will begin phasing out Max Galaxy as it’s registration software and move to CivicRec. The transition was made necessary as Max Galaxy runs in part through Microsoft Silverlight, which Microsoft will no longer support beginning Oct. 12. “Unfortunately, our hands were tied in terms of changing over to CivicRec,” said Parks and Recreation Director Jay Tobin. “We’re confident that this new product will give Shakopee residents exactly what they need.” CivicRec will provide the ability for residents to register for programs and Community Center memberships from the comfort of home. The intuitive program allows residents to easily search for programs through tabs on the main menu divided by program area. Residents can now register for programs using a mobile device. With the new system, residents can reserve spaces at the Community Center and the Youth Building online. In January 2022, park shelters can also be rented at www.ShakopeeMN.gov/registration. “CivicRec is a program for the 21st Century,” said Tobin. “We know that our customers are using their phones to browse the web more than ever and CivicRec will allow them to register from a phone browser.” Unlike Max Galaxy, CivicRec saves information from users debit or credit cards, allowing residents to instantly register for programs. "Just like customers save their credit card number to Amazon, Kohls or other websites, CivicRec will do the same, all while protecting our member's identities," Tobin said. Max Galaxy required residents to provide checking account information, including account and routing numbers, to register for monthly community center memberships. With CivicRec, this will no longer be an option. On Sept. 30, all accounts associated with a checking account will be suspended. “During this transition, we’re asking members to update their membership information with the Parks and Recreation Department by connecting a credit or debit card to their account,” www.ShakopeeMN.gov/registration. During the Community Center closure between Aug. 27 and Sept. 6, residents will be able to change their membership information by visiting the Ice Arena. Members will also be required to update their photos for the new system. They can choose to do this during the closure, or on their first visit to the community center after Sept. 7. For questions or concerns, email the department at parks@ShakopeeMN.gov. said Tobin. “This will prevent any lapse in service for customers.” Residents can update their information in person or online at
