Some program offerings by Prince George's County Dept of Parks and Recreation require the customer to verify their age and/or residency in order to qualify for the program or discounted resident fees. Upon creating a PARKS DIRECT account online, the household and all members will be defaulted to Non-Resident status and an unverified age status. 

In order to verify their age and residency, they MUST bring the appropriate verification documents to any staffed facility. For directions on how to update a member's PARKS DIRECT age/residency verification, follow the How-To posted in our online manual. The following documents can be used as verification:

 Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 30 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions.
