Volunteer Opportunities
Help maintain and beautify our parks!
One person can make a difference, and a group can make a world of difference. Volunteering in the parks can be simple and fun. Gather a group of friends or sign up as an individual. Tasks such as raking, picking up trash, or planting trees make such a difference in our beautiful Monona Parks! Volunteering in the parks is a great way to give back to our wonderful community. Every time you step back in that park you will know you made a difference!
2021 Parks Pride Day is Saturday April 22, Sign up here.
Parks projects will be listed throughout the year, or if you have an idea, contact Parks & Recreation Director Jake Anderson

This is a trial program that we hope will have a positive and lasting impact. Your role as a volunteer is important and will be highly visible. Our intent is not to harm the geese, but to encourage them to move from the park area to other areas where they will be less of an impact. When engaging in these activities, you must keep the safety of the public, yourself and your dog as the highest priority.
