How to Get Involved

Throughout the year, volunteers of all ages play a vital role in improving our parks department, recreation programs and open space.

Community Outreach Volunteers

The Park Board participates in a number of community events including founder’s day, children’s programs and other special events.  If you would like to be a part of our community outreach efforts, please contact Kevin Arand, Parks Director at (636) 583-8471 or email at karand@ci.union.mo.us

Make a Donation

A donation program has been established to encourage individuals, businesses, and community organizations to participate in enhancing Union’s parks, programs and open space by making a tax-deductible gift that will last a lifetime.   We have benches and plaques available as a memorial that can be dedicated for friends and loved ones. The bench and plaque will be placed in our main park, along the paved walk way.    You can also give a donation to the Parks and Recreation Department for one of our events or to help improve our parks, baseball fields, softball complex, skate board park just to name a few. Help us improve the community in which you live.   For more information, please contact Kevin Arand, Parks Director at (636) 583-8471 or email at karand@ci.union.mo.us

Volunteers in Parks

Volunteers work on projects to enhance parks and natural areas. Improve Union’s parks by planting shrubs, flowers, and trees; cleaning up litter and debris; installing tables, benches and playground equipment; and removing invasive plants.
