Any person wishing to hunt in the York County Parks must apply for a free Parks hunting permit. Hunting areas may change annually, so contact the park office for details. All maps are free of charge at the Parks office or by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the office. 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, and Girl Scouts of America.
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.
