Come join LARPD for an outdoor enthusiast's dream role! We are hiring for a Park Aide casual position for the summer months of May through September. This seasonal opportunity is based at the Sycamore Grove assignment and offers a variable schedule without split shifts. While no lodging accommodations are offered, a portion of the uniform will be provided.
The Park Aide is an entry-level, seasonal casual role designed to support the District's parks, open space areas, and facilities. You will ensure these areas remain available for use and consistently maintained in a safe, clean condition. This position serves as a vital link between the public and the District, acting as staff for kiosks, entry stations, and visitor centers while patrolling areas to monitor activities and perform light maintenance duties.

You may be scheduled for a minimum of 4 hours per day and a maximum of 8 hours per day, up to 5 days a week, with a total cap of 1,200 hours per calendar year. Shifts are subject to change based on operational requirements.
In this role, you will greet and welcome park visitors, collect fees, and provide information regarding park use, local natural and cultural history, and recreation opportunities. You will also be responsible for patrolling grounds to report safety or sanitary issues, performing custodial tasks, managing trash and debris, and assisting with special events. In emergencies involving injury, illness, or fire, you will be the first point of contact, notifying authorities and providing first aid within your training level.
