Before participating in a Parks and Recreation, Prince George's County program, you’ll need a PARKS DIRECT account. Follow the steps below to get started!
After you create your account, PARKS DIRECT will mark your household address and the household residents' ages as non-verified.
👉 Households with a verified address in Prince George’s or Montgomery County receive a 30% discount on most offerings.
👉 If your household address is not verified, or if it is outside Prince George’s or Montgomery County, you’ll pay the standard non-discounted fee.
