Create a PARKS DIRECT Customer Account (Household, Family Member, and Organization)

Updated on

Before customers can use PARKS DIRECT’s, they’ll need an account. In PARKS DIRECT, accounts are called family members, which are grouped into households. Every household requires a primary guardian (also known as the head of household) who is financially responsible for every family member in their household.

Only create a PARKS DIRECT customer account if you are with the customer in person.
