ePACT

Electronic Paperwork for Parks and Recreation Programs 

Tucson Parks & Recreation is proud to announce our adoption of ePACT Network for better safety. ePACT is a secure emergency network that we will use to collect medical and emergency contact information electronically. Not only will ePACT replace paper forms, but it will also ensure we have a way to communicate with you in the event of an unexpected situation. For more information on ePACT, visit the webpage below.

Why are we using ePACT?

  • To save you time - With ePACT, you only need to complete your child’s information once and update it as needed.
  • To eliminate high-touch processes- Collecting data electronically and checking members in /out using contactless methods reduces contact.
  • For better security & privacy- ePACT's high encryption levels and commitment to security mean your data on ePACT is safer than on paper.

How it works?

It's a very simple process! You'll be sent a request for EACH child- click the "Complete Request" button, create
an account, and follow the prompts to share data with [YOUR ORGANIZATION]. If you have more than one child
attending, family data will automatically pre-fill, saving you time!
