Members and Access Cards
Park96 is available for the exclusive use of the homeowners of the community of Parkland who are paid up Members in good standing of Park96 and their invited guests.
Each household will be issued one Park96 access card that allows entry at the main gate to the Park. If additional cards are required, they may be purchased from the business office at a cost of $25.00. A MAXIMUM of 3 (three) cards are allowed per household. Please notify the business office if you have lost your card so it can be cancelled. A replacement card can be purchased through the business office at a fee of $25.00. If a card is damaged and no longer allows access, the damaged card must be returned to the office for a replacement; otherwise a charge will apply.
It is a breach of rules and regulations to lend a valid Park96 Access Card to another person, whether they are a Park96 member, non-member or non-resident. Doing so may result in the suspension of Park96 privileges for the cardholder and/or homeowner.
Membership cards remain the property of Park96. Management may require such cards to be returned if the owner of the card breaches the Rules & Regulations of Park 96.
Guest Access
Park96 Members are permitted a maximum of 10 guests per household per day. If a Member’s guests exceed 10, a request must be made to the Park96 Office to approve the number of guests and be aware of the planned activity. A list of guest names may be required to be submitted to the Park96 Office.
Homeowners or residents eligible for membership cannot be signed in as guests. Guests within Park96 must be accompanied by a Member at all times and it is a breach of Rules & Regulations to share a Park96 access card or give the access card to a non-member. Park96 Members must remain on-site when bringing guests into the Park or its facilities; no guest is permitted to be in the Park without a resident member.
