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. Bill began volunteering in 1992 at the front counter at Nixon Park, helping with inventories an depending a little time on the trails. In addition, his 36-year background as an engineer with Baker Refractories in York has also qualified Bill to volunteer as a consultant for building and maintenance needs. Bill was born and raised in Columbia. Upon finishing a tour with the Navy AirCorps, Bill took advantage of the G.I. Bill and graduated from Penn State.
