Many volunteers take great pride in Kenmore’s parks and open spaces and volunteer to ensure these public lands are protected, properly cared for, and accessible for citizens and visitors to enjoy. To volunteer, fill out our volunteer intake form and contact the City's Volunteer and Events Supervisor.

Park Clean Up Events

Adults, Youth, Families, Organizations, Businesses

Park Clean-up Days are a great way to get outdoors, meet other community members, and help in keeping Kenmore parks healthy and clean. Adults, families, churches, civic groups, and businesses are encouraged to attend. Youth groups are also invited to help in this important civic service event but require pre-approval in order to ensure proper parent approval, supervision, or insurance is in place prior to the event. Park Clean-up events can include weeding, mulching, picking up trash, pruning, and planting.

Park Stewards

18 Years or Older / Require a One-Year Commitment

Park Steward is a key leadership role in assisting City staff in protecting, maintaining, and improving Kenmore’s park system. Park stewards are visible volunteers out in the community who conduct weekly park patrols to identify damage, garbage, or other issues within the park. These stewards also lead monthly stewardship park clean-up events and supervise other volunteers. Stewards are required to attend 6 hours of training, attend a volunteer orientation, and are encouraged to be trained in first aid and CPR.

Nature Stewards

18 Years or Older

These skilled stewards help in educating the public about wildlife, plants, and environmental issues. An example of this type of steward is a Nature Walk Guide who leads a monthly walk thru a Kenmore park to educate people on the wildlife living within this park.
