Recreation Volunteer Program Launching 2023

We're pleased to announce that Recreation Services is launching our official Volunteer Program in 2023. Whether you're interested in helping at community events (Concerts in the Park, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration, etc.) or working in our parks, trails and sports fields, we want to match you with opportunities that fit your skills while supporting our services. We'd love to have you involved!

To join our roster of volunteers, please start by completing our Recreation Services Volunteer Application. Completed applications can be emailed to recservices@prcity.com

Volunteer Opportunities are currently being developed and will be posted here. To be added to our interest list and learn more, please email us or call Wyatt Lund at 805-237-3990.

Please note that we cannot accommodate court-ordered community service requests.

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Uptown Family Park Community Garden

Uptown Family Park features a community garden which includes several raised beds, benches, and a shed stocked with tools. Community members are welcome to volunteer during work days to help beautify this special space! For more information, email us or call Wyatt Lund at 805-237-3990.

Advisory Groups

The following advisory groups are an invaluable part of Recreation Services. They meet monthly and provide a means for the general public to express their interest, concerns, and requests. These commissions make recommendations to our department, based on their own expertise and community input, and/or assist with fundraising. Terms of service vary and recruitment for commission members is held in April of each year.
