With nearly 41% of the City’s parks, volunteers are needed to help give our parks the TLC they deserve. District One has a number of dedicated folks committed to our parks, including Rosemarie Benitez Ruggieri, the District One Parks & Recreation Commissioner, as well as a Parks Liaison specific to District One, Elena Quintero. Elena coordinates with the community to set up park clean-ups, and assists with maintenance and the day to day appearance of parks in District One. She works with volunteers and community groups to schedule, coordinate and lead volunteer activities, clean ups, and workshops. She has also developed new volunteer programs and enhanced existing programs. There are several volunteer options available for interested community members:
