Parks and Recreation

Our parks are a precious resource, but they don’t maintain themselves. A lot of coordination goes into parks and recreation services, whether in a small rural town or a major city like New York.

To coordinate your efforts to beautify and run your parks while still managing recreational services, you need quality, name brand two-way radios. Without the right radio, your job (and the jobs of your team) becomes so much harder and more time consuming.

That’s why you’re here. You've landed on the internet’s number one resource for parks and recreation radios.

What are the Best Parks and Recreation Radios?

Motorola RDU4100

A Tough Radio with Great Range - If you're looking for some serious range along with rugged durability, look no further than the Motorola RDU4100. This is a UHF radio with 10 channels and four watts of power.

When it comes to range, you’ll be able to communicate reliably for up to three miles outside. When inside, you’re going to have 30 floors or up to 350,000 square feet of clear communication.

This radio is tough, and is built to military grade specifications. Your parks won’t be able to make a dent in this device’s case. That’s because it comes with a metal die-cast chassis covered in polycarbonate. The hardware meets MIL-STD 810 C-F standards.

That means the radio can withstand being submerged in mud or dropped from your park’s highest tree without breaking. It can withstand a blast from a firehose, so there’s nothing your little league recreation team can throw that will break this device.

Clear real time communication sent through UHF radio frequencies is another amazing benefit of this device. It can get around the trees and shrubbery of your park while also working inside buildings, such as a recreation center.
