Westside Parks

Volunteer in the Developed Parks on the westside of Portland!

Developed parks are located throughout the city and are the parks located in your neighborhood. These parks include recreation opportunities such as, playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, sports fields, dog off-leash areas, nature patches, and community events and programs. 

As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to help keep parks clean and beautiful and support your community ecosystem. There are opportunities available for a range of ages and abilities. 

Volunteer activities include:

• Weeding and pruning
• Litter pick-up
• Habitat restoration and preservation
• Mulching trees and flower beds
• Installing new plant beds, pollinator or rain gardens

Volunteer events are hosted by skilled Horticulturists and Friend Groups. You'll have a chance to grow your gardening skills while helping care for your local park.
