Volunteer at Lakes Park

Volunteers are the very backbone of our ability to carry out the Foundation’s mission. We call our volunteers “Lakes Park Ambassadors” because of their tendency to share their passion and knowledge with park visitors.


Individuals wishing to volunteer at Lakes Park please click here to be directed to the Lee County website. 


We’re also eager to work with organizations such as schools, businesses, youth groups, and religious organizations seeking community service opportunities. Email us at Info@LakesPark.org for more information on any of the opportunities below.
