The I Like Lenexa app has helped Lenexa
Parks & Recreation staff connect with
hard-to-reach audiences, like teenagers.

'I Like Lenexa' App
In 2013, the city's park and recreation department developed an
innovative program, called Playground Passport, which encourages
residents to visit as many of the
city parks as possible and enjoy the
new structures and features. Soon
after this program was introduced,
parks staff had a new idea: What if
Playground Passport went digital?
A collaboration between Lenexa
Parks and Recreation, Enterprise
System Technology and the city's
communications department to
create a mobile-app version of the
Playground Passport evolved into
an even more robust and inventive

the end of this year, 24 out of 27
playgrounds across the city will either be installed or replaced. City
leaders knew that throughout this
process showing residents the value
of their tax dollars was important.

visit by highlighting notable park
features and amenities.
The I Like Lenexa app allows
residents to further connect not
only to their playgrounds, but also

to special events, parks, pools and
trails, while competing against their
friends and neighbors to win prizes.
The " Achievements " feature allows
app users to complete challenges to
win points, which they can redeem
