Seattle Parks and Recreation will work with all citizens to be good stewards of our environment and to provide safe and welcoming opportunities to play, learn, contemplate and build community.

Description:
Discovery Park is a 550 acre park in the midst of Seattle. We offer quality environmental education for all ages both formally and informally.

Many of our programs are delivered by Docents (volunteer naturalists). Docents receive 12 weeks of free training (1 weeknight and 1 weekend day each week) in exchange for one year of service as a docent.

Additionally, we recruit volunteers to help with habitat restoration and trail projects. Call for our most recent list of opportunities.

History:
We have been a park since 1972 when the land was given to the City of Seattle by the US military. The Docent Program (volunteer naturalist) has been active since 1994.
