Parks & green space, reserved online.
An outdoor space booking system for everything that happens in your parks — one-off events on the recreation ground, regular activities such as boot camps, dog training and walking groups, and casual rental of a green, bandshell or shelter. It is booking software for outdoor activities that residents can actually use.
- Events in parks — fairs, festivals, field days and outdoor cinema
- Regular activities — boot camps, dog training and walking groups
- Casual rental of a green, bandshell or shelter
- Capacity limits and conflict checks built in
A vendor booth reservation system for your market.
Set up the weekly market once and let regular vendors hold the same numbered booth every week, while casual vendors book any booth that is free. Assign booths at a glance, and invoice regular and casual vendors without raising each one by hand.
- Recurring weekly booth bookings for regular vendors
- Allocate numbered vendor booths and see what's free at a glance
- Take casual one-off booth bookings alongside the regulars
- Invoice regular and casual vendors from the same system
Promotional & town-centre spaces.
Open up your town-centre promotional booths and gazebo spots so non-profits and local businesses can book them online. LemonBooking shows the dates each space is available, applies your own pricing, and routes the booking to the clerk for approval where you need it.
- Book out town-centre promo booths and gazebo spots
- Open to non-profits and local businesses, with your rules
- Set available dates and pricing for each space
- Send every booking through to the clerk for approval
Invoicing & payments built in.
Auto-invoice the moment a booking is approved, take online card payments through the providers departments actually use, and generate a month of vendor invoices in a single bulk run rather than raising each one by hand.
- Auto-send an invoice with a payment link the moment you approve
- Online card payments through Stripe, SumUp, Square and PayPal
- Bulk invoice runs for regular weekly market vendors

Trusted by departments.
One system for the whole inventory. Ball fields, shelters, courts, community garden plots and vendor booths sit in the same calendar as your rec centres, gyms and meeting rooms, so a resident books any of them the same way and your staff run them from one login — with the access controls and audit trail a department's records policy expects.

Customer review from Trustpilot
“We run a busy Town Hall with three rooms and over two hundred customers. Lemon booking has all the function we need for web site, bookings and invoicing (it can handle payments as well but we do that on Quickbooks). The support is fantastic. We were already using another good booking system but Lemon had so many useful additional functions and was cheaper.”
Frequently asked questions
Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.
How much does parks and recreation booking software cost?
Plans start at $360 a year for Bronze, billed annually. Your website, hosting and SSL are included, as are email support and the online help centre, and there are no set-up fees. Departments with more than eight bookable fields, shelters or rooms pay a small extra charge for each; the pricing page sets out what each plan covers. Card fees, where you take card payments, go to the payment provider rather than to us.
Can we take reservations for parks and green space?
Yes — let residents and organizers book events in your parks, regular activities such as boot camps, dog training and walking groups, or casual use of a green, bandshell or shelter. Each space gets its own calendar, pricing and booking form, with conflict checks built in.
Can we handle recurring vendor booth bookings and invoice vendors?
Yes — set up the weekly market once, allocate numbered booths to regular vendors and take casual booth bookings alongside them. Generate a month of vendor invoices in a single bulk run rather than raising each one by hand.
Can we book out promotional and town-centre spaces?
Yes — let non-profits and businesses book town-centre promotional booths and gazebo spots online, with your own approval rules, available dates and pricing for each space.
Can one department run every kind of space in one system?
Yes. The same system runs reservations for halls, sports facilities, parks, shelters and vendor booths, so one department can hold the whole inventory in one calendar. Every connection is encrypted, the platform is Cyber Essentials certified, and access is role based with a full audit log.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — start a 30-day free trial with no card required. We help you set up your spaces, vendor booths, booking rules and payment providers so you are not starting from a blank page.
Can we take market and outdoor bookings from a phone?
Yes — LemonBooking runs in any web browser, so you can assign vendor booths, check the market or approve an event booking from a phone or tablet out on site, not just at a desk. There's no native app to install or update; just bookmark the login in your mobile browser and it's ready whenever you're walking the site.
Ready to bring your parks & markets bookings online?
30 days free. No card required. We help you set up your spaces, market booths, booking rules and payment providers so you're not starting from a blank page.
