The primary role of a park assistant is to provide park visitors with information, assistance and services. This is accomplished by encouraging compliance with park rules and regulations, act as a contact for emergencies that occur when a ranger is off duty, and collecting fees from a kiosk when trained and authorized. Depending on the location, additional roles may include staffing a nature center, camp store, interpreting resources, performing light housekeeping and janitorial duties, maintain facilities and performing simple repairs, removing litter, maintain landscaping, and other work as assigned to support park operations.
