Parks & Rec Wants YOU!

With 63 parks and over 6100 acres of park land, it is nearly impossible for Parks and Recreation staff to maintain, beautify and provide safety for our park system.  But with dedicated volunteers such as yourself, we can do it!   

From adopting a park to coaching a sports team to patrolling a park as a Park Ranger, we provide a wide-range of opportunities for a volunteer to create and be part of the community he/she envisions.  Forming lifelong friendships, learning new skills and having tons of fun while doing so are just a few of the benefits for those who volunteer with us.  

Available Opportunities

• #LRParksPushyPlants - Help eradicate invasive plants in our park system. 
• Adopt-A-Flowerbed - We have over 30 flowerbeds for you to play in! 
• Adopt-A-Park - Maintain an open spaced park of your choice by picking up litter, raking leaves, and  performing other duties as desired or assigned.
• Adopt-A-Trail - Maintain our trails by clearing debris from the path, building trails and performing other duties as desired or assigned.
• Community Centers - Assist with coaching, homework, events or clean-up around the grounds. We always need help around our five centers: Dunbar, the Centre at University Park, Stephens, Southwest, and West Central.
• Eagle Scouts - Click the link to check out available projects.
• Park or Trail Clean-up - Pick a park or trail to clean up and we’ll provide the trash bags, rakes, and litter grabbers.
• Park Ranger - Represent the City of Little Rock by patrolling our parks as an ambassador, steward and protector of our system.
