In recent months, we’ve been growing not just our membership but also our regular activities, our regular publishing and promotion of your Park Lands as well as planning the next edition of the Adelaide Park Lands Art Prize.

But that growing buzz of activity needs more hands-on backup.

What can you do to help? These opportunities are all voluntary and don't require large time commitments. You’ll be warmly welcomed onto our team of volunteers as we all squeeze in support for the Park Lands around our other day-to-day responsibilities and leisure, both at work and at home.
