The Park has the following positions available:

All volunteers receive an orientation with the Volunteer Coordinator and must be at least 18 years of age for this position.
Beautification Projects - Landscaping and clean-up projects are held throughout the year and range from planting shrubbery and flowers to weeding and mulching. The park supplies volunteers with bottled water, gloves and any necessary tools.
Fourth Saturday Family Fun Day - Every fourth Saturday from 12 p.m. – 4 p.m., April through September, the Park hosts an afternoon of free, themed family fun including street performers, interactive and educational displays, touring shows and plenty of great activities for children. Volunteers help children make crafts, lead life-size chess games, hand out performance schedules, staff tents for musicians and performers and sell Park merchandise.
