Volunteers and Park Hosts:
The Maricopa County Park s and Recreation Department would not be a reality without the contributed hours by this highly-prized group of individuals. Volunteers from around the Phoenix metropolitan area donate their time and energy in all of the parks at the contact stations, visitor centers, and campsites. Park hosts are another unique group of individuals who come to Phoenix from all over North America and donate thousands of hours a year to the Maricopa County Parks.
If you are only able to volunteer for a couple of hours at a time or serve as a Park Host for a full season, we welcome the opportunity to talk with you about how we can work together. For more information on the types of volunteer and hosting opportunities within the Department, click here to review the Volunteer Handbook.
