As “friends” of Rapid City parks we sometimes ask you to write letters, make calls, show up at a meeting, help at an event.
We’re looking for volunteers who want to help monitor the more than 20 miles of trails in our parkway by becoming “trail partners.” This program of the Rapid City Parks and Recreation Department puts volunteers on the paths on foot, bicycle or park vehicle to promote proper and safe use, monitor the trails for hazards, and foster good stewardship of the parks’ trail system. Friends of Rapid City Parks would form a crew of “partners” who then would receive education and training from parks and rec professionals. Partners are expected to spend a minimum hours per month patrolling the trails at times, dates and locations of our choosing.
If you are interested, let us know by sending an email with the subject line “trail partners.” You can contact us by clicking here.
