Volunteer with King County Parks

Spring is a busy time of year, and we’re looking for volunteers to help us spiffy up in King County’s 26,000 acres of parks and 175 miles of trails. Weeding, watering and preparing native vegetation for the fall planting season are among some of the activities that we couldn’t do without hundreds of dedicated volunteers each year.

You can volunteer as an individual or as a group, be it your co-workers, a scout troop, community group or religious group. Experience isn’t necessary – just a desire to help make King County a better place to live and play.
