Volunteer at Eagle Creek Park
Eagle Creek Park frequently works with volunteer groups and individuals in a variety of ways to help beautify the park, educate patrons on the environment, and fundraise to enhance park amenities.
Their service plays an essential role in Eagle Creek Park’s overall success to the public. As patrons visit the park, we want to provide them with unsurpassed customer service and an opportunity to create a memorable experience.
Park naturalists can especially use volunteers who are willing to be trained in helping with structured hikes for school groups and the public, assist with programs or as docents in the center’s exhibit rooms, and help to cover our front desks/phones.
We’d like to thank our 100+ regular volunteers for all of their hard work and dedication to our park. They selflessly volunteer around 8,000 hours per year.
