At GOGov, we're proud to partner with parks and recreation departments nationwide, helping them leverage technology to better serve their communities. As we celebrate this special month, let's explore how digital innovation is transforming the way parks departments connect with residents and manage their essential services.

July is one of the busiest months of the year for local governments—from 4th of July celebrations and weather-related alerts to increased recreation activity and public works projects. It’s also a perfect opportunity to engage residents through your local government mobile app and mass communication tools.

With GOGov Citizen Notifications, municipalities can proactively keep residents informed about everything they need to know to have a safe and enjoyable holiday—right from their phones. From push notifications in your branded app to SMS, voice, email, and even social media integration, GOGov helps local governments cut through the noise and deliver critical updates in real-time.

Midway City Sanitary District, a special district in California, launched GOGov’s Citizen Requests Management/311 in January 2025. Since then, they have been actively utilizing the platform to improve their service request management and internal operations.

Whether it’s utility work, resurfacing projects, or full-scale infrastructure upgrades, road work season is in full swing for public works and transportation departments across the country. But without clear, timely communication, these necessary improvements can lead to resident frustration, missed appointments, and traffic headaches.

Minerva is a new GOGov customer that began using the platform in October 2024. Now, just 6–8 months into their journey, the village is actively navigating the rollout of their branded app, Discover Minerva, and building momentum to engage their community with timely information and convenient services.

Mass communication isn’t just a job for the communications team—it’s a shared responsibility across all departments. GOGov’s local government mobile app and mass communication tools give every municipal office the power to connect with the public—clearly, quickly, and reliably.

Housing and Community Development Special Districts are the unsung heroes of neighborhood management. Whether they oversee a master-planned community, a residential development district, or affordable housing initiatives, these districts act as a "mini city hall" for their residents—providing essential services, maintaining infrastructure, and cultivating community pride.

Launching your municipality-branded mobile app is a big milestone—but it’s only the beginning. To truly maximize the impact of your investment in local government mobile software, continuous promotion is essential. Residents can't benefit from your app's powerful features if they don't know it exists, or if they're not reminded of its usefulness throughout the year.

When a hurricane or tropical storm is on the horizon, timely and accurate communication becomes a matter of utmost importance for local governments. Push notifications through local government branded mobile apps have emerged as a pivotal tool.
