Volunteer Opportunities
Working man
Because of the wide diversity of activities, facilities and environments found in the York County Parks, a number of volunteer opportunities are available. Currently, the York County Parks works with such groups as the Master Gardeners, ARC of York County, York College of Pennsylvania, Izaak Walton League, 
 
Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America and YAMBA (York Area Mountain Bike Association). Groups using the parks regularly volunteer their time to improve our facilities. Individual volunteers have played a major role in conducting different tasks ranging from staffing at Nixon Park to maintaining the flower beds in the parks.

Individual and group volunteers are encouraged to contact the York County Parks at (717) 840-7440 for more details.

Welcome New Board Members
The York County Parks welcomed two new board members to replace Sean Durgin and John Rinehart, who fulfilled their terms and now become members of the Emeritus Board.


Amanda Dubbs
A native of York County, Amanda grew up in Mt. Wolf. As a child she spent a considerable amount of time in John Rudy, Rocky Ridge and Richard Nixon County Parks. Over time, she has come to love how the parks have lasting effects on our community at large. With all her great memories of the York County Parks, she feels it is only “fitting” as a York County resident to continue efforts to protect the parks, maintain the parks, and get the word out about the parks to every current and future member of our York community. Welcome to the board!

 


Charles Smith
Charles grew up in North Carolina and moved to York in 2004. He visits Rocky Ridge and William H. Kain County Park on a regular basis. His favorite way to visit the parks is by mountain bike. He especially enjoys the group mountain biking rides around Lake Redman and Lake Williams. Charles wanted to join the Parks Board to preserve and enhance the trail system for all users. Welcome to the board!
 

Thank You!
Sean “Skip” Durgin and John Rinehart have both completed two terms on the board. Thanks for all the efforts you put into the parks! Hope to see both in the parks!
