Recreation Director Leigh Jackson announces that Brookline Recreation has begun transitioning to a new online reservation system, which will be phased in across all of its programs in the months ahead.
The Kirrane Aquatics Center was the first Recreation facility to transition to the new registration software, SmartRec, last fall for pool time reservations. All remaining Recreation facilities and programs will transition to the new system over the next several months. In order to utilize the system, users must create an account, which they can do by visiting here.
Many programs will transition to SmartRec in early February. Sign-ups for environmental camp will transition to SmartRec on February 09, 2021. Facility reservations for Larz Anderson Park and summer camp registration will go live on February 10, 2021.
The following programs will become live on SmartRec on Thursday, February 11, 2021

SmartRec is a third party software that Recreation selected because it will be more user friendly, require fewer clicks to complete activity registration, and allow users to easily make companion purchases — like buying a jersey for team sports.
“This new software will be a significant upgrade for our residents and we believe they will find it much easier once they have made the switch,” Jackson said.
