About the Park Ranger Corps
The City of Harrisburg has continued to undertake extensive development of new recreational facilities while rehabilitating many existing parks, playgrounds, and open space areas. As a result of this financial investment, means to promote, preserve, and protect these improvements are absolutely necessary if these facilities are to remain intact for future generations to enjoy. Our plan to protect while simultaneously promoting these facilities includes the continuance of the Park Ranger Corp Program, created by Mayor Stephen R. Reed via Executive Order in 1990. The purpose of this program is to promote and protect City parks and park improvements through constant park patrols, with the Rangers also serving as ambassadors for Harrisburg’s extensive park system.
Park Ranger Corp members work 22-hour shifts, seven days per week, year-round, to patrol and protect all of Harrisburg’s parks, playgrounds, and open space areas. A total of forty-eight (48) hours of intensive training at the Harrisburg Area Community College’s Public Safety Institute provide critical skills for all Rangers ranging from first aid to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation to courtroom procedures.
