Volunteers

PrairieFest

The Oswegoland community has a great tradition of having involved residents. The Park District has benefited from thousands of community members who help with parks, programs, and events every year. Our volunteers donate their time and talents maintaining our natural areas, coaching youth sports, keeping runners on course, and making special events like PrairieFest even more special for their family, friends, and neighbors.
