Help bring the fun to Bicentennial Park! Join Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation for a special community celebration in honor of the grand opening of Bicentennial Park’s new splash pad.
This exciting park improvement will provide a fun, refreshing place for children and families to gather, play and enjoy the park during the warmer months. Volunteers will help make the grand opening welcoming, organized and fun for everyone who attends.
During this shift, volunteers may help set up chairs and tents, support the craft area, monitor an inflatable/game area and help initiate or monitor Olympic-style mini games for kids.
No prior experience is necessary — staff will provide instructions, supplies and guidance on site. Volunteers will receive a t-shirt to wear during the event.
Volunteers are welcome to sign up for both back-to-back shifts if they would like to help for the full event. We have built in transition time between shifts to allow for a smooth handoff.
Come lend a hand and help us celebrate the splash pad grand opening at Bicentennial Park!
