Volunteerism is a critical component in order for the Knox County Park District to carry out it’s mission. As defined, volunteerism is an unpaid activity where someone gives their time or talent for a charitable, educational or other worthwhile activity, especially in one’s community. The Knox County Park District would like to recognize our outstanding volunteers and their activities in the Parks.
