Whether it is cleaning up a park, teaching a class or helping at a special event, volunteers play a huge role in enhancing the quality of life in Aurora. The Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Department has volunteer opportunities throughout the city year-round and we are able to accommodate large groups and youth.

The mission of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Department is to encourage active lifestyles and create healthy environments for people, nature and community. The divisions below work together to accomplish this mission.
