Arvada Parks Seek Volunteer Rangers

ARVADA, CO – Does your idea of fun consist of zooming around on golf scooters throughout Arvada's trails? Have you always wished to be a park ranger in another life?

Arvada Parks and the Arvada Parks Advisory Committee are looking for volunteers to work/play as park rangers in the most heavily used areas of Arvada parks and trails, starting in mid-August.

They're seeking friendly people who can commit three three-hour sessions a season to help deal with the public, especially in the evenings, at the Arvada Dog Park, Long Lake Sports Complex, Ralston Creek Trail and Birds Nest Disc Golf Course. Volunteers are expected to report any problems to a district supervisor and will perform "light duty maintenance" such as removing graffiti, cleaning up trash and repairing signs.

What's in it for you? Well, the aforementioned golf cart to zip around in, as well as a t-shirt, free fishing privileges at the reservoir and a well-earned seat at the yearly volunteer appreciation luncheon.

You must be 18 years old or older and have your own transportation to and from Blunn Reservoir (ranger shift starting point).

The deadline to apply is July 29.

Check out the website for more details or send questions to Arvada Parks Supervisor Ken Billips kbillips@arvada.org.
