Springfield Parks & Recreation

What Springfield Parks & Recreation does

Springfield Parks & Recreation is a municipal government department of the Town of Springfield, Vermont, that operates the Springfield Community Center at 139 Main St and provides public recreation programming for local residents. The department is staffed by 7 employees led by Director Adam Middleton and Assistant Director Scott Lampron, and serves a small-town Vermont population through a portfolio of youth sports programs (tackle football, cheerleading, track and field, wrestling, basketball, soccer), summer sport camps, adult fitness (pickleball across beginner, intermediate, and advanced 3.5+ tiers, plus adult basketball and volleyball), senior walking programs, and hobby clubs such as the Twin State Relic Hunters. The Community Center houses a gym, candlepin bowling alley, game room, multi-purpose rooms, and adjacent outdoor venues including the Commons, Riverside Field, and an ice skating rink.

The department's core technology stack is SportsEngine's Sports Relationship Management (SRM) platform, which powers online registration, program scheduling, and facility bookings through the sportngin.com domain. Supplementary scheduling is handled via PlayTime Scheduler. The department's revenue model is a hybrid of hourly facility rentals — priced on a pay-as-you-go basis with tiered resident vs. non-resident rates (e.g., $30/hr vs. $40/hr for the gym) and a $50 refundable deposit for indoor rentals introduced 7/1/25 — and program registration fees. Distribution is direct via in-person access at the Community Center and self-serve online registration, with a marketing channel mix of community sponsorships (VFW Auxiliary, B-A-R-T Energy, Moose Lodge #679, Cota & Cota, Crown Point Country Club, Springfield High School Alumni Association) and direct phone contact.

The go-to-market is geographically constrained to Springfield, Vermont and the broader New England region, with a primary customer segment of local residents. The department offers discounted rates to Springfield residents as a form of municipal subsidy, and operates within a single-country/domestic footprint with no external funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue figures.
