Volunteer at Hazeltine Park!
Do you love helping flowers to bloom? Learning about native plants, pollinators, and keeping weeds away? Spending time with nature and your neighbors? We're looking for volunteers to grow a group of plant pals at Hazeltine Park!
If you are seeking a consistent gardening focused volunteer event and love helping people connect to the nature in their neighborhood and want to help us share the word, please reach out to East Developed Parks Coordinator, Kimberléa Ruffu.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about gardening and native plants, and to connect with your community. Plant care activities may vary monthly.
Learn more and register for an upcoming event through our new volunteer website!

History
The park is named in honor of longtime neighborhood residents Dick and Opal Hazeltine. Dick is considered by many as a "founder" of the Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood. For several decades, he has been at the forefront of many neighborhood improvement initiatives, including the building of the community center, establishing the neighborhood watch program, and organizing neighborhood clean-ups. His tireless efforts resulted in the development of the Nehalem property into a neighborhood park.
