The Nature Park Society offers a variety of programs, special events, and volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. Open early spring to late fall. The McDonald Beach facilities include two ramps, public washrooms, picnic tables, and a small concession catering to fishermen's needs. Volunteer Involvement Volunteers are the backbone of our leisure services system. From the planning stage on through, volunteers are involved in every aspect of our service delivery.
Volunteers participate as board members in directing all of the programs in our facilities.
They serve on several community advisory groups. They also serve as members of hundreds of leisure groups that help to provide direct services in our community. Volunteers can be found helping out in all of our facilities on a daily basis. The abundance of leisure opportunities available in Richmond is due to the ongoing involvement of members of our community. A Community Venture Richmond is divided into eight local areas.
