VOLUNTEER AT THE ORV PARK!

The Open Space Division is looking for volunteers to help keep park users safe and the park clean.  The area is in need of improvements such as a shade structure, a trash clean up, and more active involvement by the ORV community.  Individuals or organizations can help the Open Space Division with these efforts by volunteering or adopting the ORV Park to help ensure that regulations are being followed, and to prevent trespassing, resource damage and vandalism.
