The program mission of Arts in the Parks is provide programs to connect our visitors with creative experiences in the park that are transformative, unexpected, and inspirational.

Docent positions and skills-based roles

Currently there is not an active trails program. We have lots of other volunteer opportunities in the park and we'd love your help!

Help preserve and enhance beautiful landscapes and maintain historic buildings and grounds. Activities include mulching, re-seeding, weeding, pruning, winter planting, litter removal, painting, and groundskeeping.

When the sun sets, the skies above our parks illuminate with an ever-changing tapestry of planets, stars, constellations, and galaxies – many visible to the naked eye. If you know where to look, the GGNRA offers stargazers an endless well of magic to observe year-round.
