Parks and Recreation Opportunities

Got Time?

Renton’s Park and Recreation Programs offer a large variety of volunteer opportunities for you or your organization to be involved in. These range from one time events to ongoing year-round or seasonal programs. Our volunteers have the opportunity to make a difference in our community while meeting new people and becoming familiar with programs and a park system that renew and refresh all who participate. You can help by joining volunteer groups that spread bark, pick up litter, pull weeds, and plant flowers. Volunteers assist with youth athletic events, special events, cultural arts programs and more.

If you or a group you belong to are interested in being part of the action, we invite you to explore the variety of opportunities available by contacting the volunteer coordinators with the following programs. Coordinators will be able to answer any specific questions you may have about their program, and can send you a volunteer packet to get you started:
