Dakota County Parks

Have an extra excuse to enjoy the outdoors – become a Dakota County Parks Trail Ambassador! Our ambassador teams support a vital service to our trail programs by providing trained assistance with directions, FAQs, rule compliance and first aid care. Qualified candidates are enthusiastic and frequent users of our parks and that want to serve as friendly ambassadors to other park visitors.

Volunteer on your own time (no set schedule - you go out when you want/where you want/how you want), while personally enjoying the trails, it doesn’t get better than that! A variety of recreation interests can be utilized within the Trail Ambassador program.

The Trail Ambassador program is available year-round in all Dakota County parks and greenways. See below for open team recruitment (you can join more than one team depending on what activity you do while in the parks).
