Thank you for your commitment to volunteering with Dallas Park and Recreation!

Our greatest asset at Dallas Park and Recreation is the community we serve, our family of staff, and our volunteers. Volunteers are the heart of our department; you help keep our parks beautiful and our recreation centers humming with activities by sharing your skills, contributing your time and making a difference in our community!

We are accepting individual and group volunteers to assist in park maintenance projects and recreation center programs. Currently we are unable to accommodate Court Mandated Volunteers.

Volunteer Program

Volunteers are the heart of our department. They help keep our parks beautiful and our recreation centers humming with activity. They share their skills, contribute their time, and enhance our lives. 

Over 2,500 volunteers contributed approximately 178,996 service hours during FY 2019-2020, valued at $4.5 million. Individuals and groups share their talents and expertise by participating in senior adult and after school programs, park beautification projects like “It’s My Park Day,” and numerous other daily activities and special events.
