Urban Rangers

Description

Urban Park Rangers help foster safe and welcoming parks and facilities, provide security to visitors and staff by enforcing rules and regulations, creatively solve problems, build relationships, and engage community members to experience nature close to home.

 

Summary of 2025 Budget Enhancements and Realignments:

1) Supports a Ranger program of 3.0 FTE and maintains seasonal staffing from April to November to sustain existing operational hours and increase capacity for education and positive community interactions.

2) Addresses cost escalation experienced with vehicle and equipment replacement.

3) Realigns historically unspent budget allocation to support the non-personnel needs associated with this program.
