Great Parks

Great Parks is home to 22 parks and nature preserves that encompass over 18,000 acres! 80% of that land is committed to preservation. Our parks are an integral part of communities throughout Hamilton County. We strive to connect communities to nature through recreational opportunities, preservation, and educational outreach for all ages. Are you interested in becoming a volunteer? Over 600 long-term volunteers help with everything from farm animal care, invasive plant removal, golf tournaments, trail maintenance, and much more! If you're more of a drop-in volunteer, we welcome you too. Our half-day community volunteer events are short, fun, and impactful. Come join us! To get started, visit greatparks.org/volunteer
