Episode #109: Managing Park Maintenance Backlogs
Episode 109
Wednesday, 17 June, 2026
Park maintenance departments face a common problem: There is too much to do and not enough time and resources to do it. Maintenance managers face difficult decisions about what work needs to be done and what has to be shelved for another day. But there’s a problem… Deferring maintenance can end up costing much more in the long run. Equipment breakdowns. Program cancellations. Expensive repairs. Emergency overtime work. Maintenance backlogs aren’t unique to the parks and recreation industry. There are, however, unique circumstances park maintenance departments face that can contribute to deferred maintenance. In this Episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast, learn more about maintenance backlogs, reasons park districts and agencies fall behind, and some practical steps to address deferred maintenance. __________________________________________________________________________ The Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast is for busy professionals working to change the game in Parks and Recreation.
