Your username and password may have expired or you may be locked out of your account due to too many unsuccessful attempts.

How do I set up an account with Parks & Recreation?

To set up an account online using WebTrac, visit the link next to the “Need an Account?” question under the Member Login panel on the WebTrac splash page.

To set up an account in-person, visit any of our two convenient locations (Parks & Recreation Office or the London Nelson Community Center).

What do I need in order to set up an account?

Online and in-person account setup requires users have a valid email address, home address, unique login, and phone number. Note: in order to be considered a Resident, your account address must be located within Santa Cruz City limits.

I created an account online, but why is the system listing me as Nonresident?

All new accounts created using WebTrac are recorded with a status of Nonresident until we can verify your home address. Confirming your home address is simple. You can visit either of our conveniently located in-person sites (Parks & Recreation Office or the London Nelson Community Center); or send us an email with your information.

Types of documents used to confirm your home address include the following:

  1. Current utility bill from the last ninety (90) days with your address and name listed
  2. State or Federal issued ID card or drivers license
  3. Bank statement from the last ninety (90) days (redact any sensitive information)
  4. Other official documents with your name and address listed with date issued from the last ninety (90) days

Why does this error message keep coming up when I try to register for an activity (age older than or equal to “X” and younger than or equal “X”)?

This message appears when the registrant has not met the age requirements for the activity. The registrant must be of the age listed in the course information by the first day of the scheduled activity. A valid birthdate must be inputted on the registrants account. To update your account information, please call (831) 420-5270 or email webtrac@santacruzca.gov and speak with a customer service representative. Be sure to include your name, contact information and request.

Why do I have to enter my birth date information?

WebTrac calculates age using birthdate information. In order to register for activities that have an age requirement, birthdate information is required to be listed on the member’s record. To update your account information, please call (831) 420-5270 or email webtrac@santacruzca.gov and speak with a customer service representative. Be sure to include your name, contact information and request.

How do I add more members to my account household?

To add more members to your Park & Recreation account household, please call (831) 420-5270 or email webtrac@santacruzca.gov and speak with a customer service representative. Be sure to include your name, contact information and request. You can also visit any of our two convenient locations (Parks & Recreation Office or the London Nelson Community Center).
