Our Philosophy
At the Chillicothe Park district, we believe that volunteerism is one of the best forms of recreation! The District has a variety of volunteer possibilities that can offer all segments of the community challenging and rewarding use of their recreation time. Volunteer participation in the Chillicothe Park District instills a sense of ownership and responsibility in the volunteer that leads to greater involvement and respect.
Why Volunteer?
To continue learning and growing
To develop new interests and friendships
To share your time and talent with your community
To gain valuable job experience
Who Can Volunteer?
Volunteers must be 14 years of age to independently volunteer. Youth younger than age 14 may volunteer with a parent or legal guardian.
The Jack Hammer Award is given annually by the Chillicothe Park District to honor an outstanding business or individual who has gone above the call of duty to promote parks in the Chillicothe Community.
