Three Rivers Park District

I have worked at Hyland Hills for 10 seasons and will keep coming back. I work on the "Sixth Grade" program where we bring in as many as 350 kids on any given day, and teach them (mostly never-evers) to make turns and come to a stop on skis, such that they can be turned loose to ski the runs accessible via the chairlifts.
Some schools are tougher that others, and not every day is completely taxing.  It is very rewarding to see some struggling 4th to 7th grade children make it through the course and get their "Blue Smiley Faces!"
It is a good place to work, mostly because the manager of the 6th Grade Program is a great people manager.  She encourages input from all of her people, and listens to it.  She also has excellent support from the Ski School Director.

I was a PSA and found the work frustrating. Mostly getting yelled at by parents picking up their kids and people on the hill breaking the rules. Was pretty exhausting to have negative interactions with people all day. Coworkers were really fun, which makes the job better. 

Biggest plus is that the manager ALWAYS has your back. She is great and will always back you up and make you feel supported. Could not have finished out a season in this job without her!

Three Rivers Park District offered a vast array of professional, introductory level and part-time seasonal opportunities for a person to reach out into nature.  Advancement opportunities are available for talented and earnest individuals.  Generous benefits and moderate compensation packages are grounded in diverse and solid income streams.  A stress-less environment in which one can literally reach out and touch nature is serene and life affirming.

My typical day at work consists of numerous responsibilities such as supervising part-time seasonal staff, opening and closing all areas of the building, following proper revenue handling procedures, and satisfying customers needs. I enjoy being a leader and working as a team with my co-workers. I learn more about the job every day and like tackling and conquering new challenges.

Nice place to work friendly caring managers. Appreciates all efforts does not expect more from workers than they do themselves. Pair is good work life balance is good. Vacation time or PTO Is great very flexible with schedules. I feel like a part of a family here we all support each other the stress level is the lowest in any job. Education reimbursement and encouragement is a plus

As a invasive species technician, I assisted the coordinator with planing and executing the management of various invasive plant species. My main responsibilities included:mapping new or existing invasive plant populations, guiding Conservation Corps groups of 4-5 members to the management sites, and ensuring the management plans were carried out safely and to the best of my ability.

I am lucky enough to work with people that have a passion for educating, the parks and people.   The Park District is a place where I have been able to grow my passion and skills in outdoor education while learning from people who have an incredible amount of time and energy devoted to the field.   I would recommend the Park District to anyone interested.

I enjoyed working there.
My employment was a full time, temporary position.

The environment was very relaxed, but there was an understanding that work must be done so I never felt that people were slacking off.

I had a great time learning about various horticulture and landscape projects and I was happy to be part of a team that maintained public parks for the community to enjoy.

A typical day would all depend on what department you were working.  If you were in office you would check guest in and help them with anything that they needed.  If you where at the boat rental you would check our boats for people to use, and help them with anything related to the boats they might need,

I spent two winters working as a desk clerk at Hyland Hills and it was one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. So much fun!! I worked with several friends and gained so many more through out the seasons. The managers were wonderful, incredibly kind, and understanding. Shifts are very laid back and easy going, such a great job to make a little extra money. If I didn’t move out of the area I would 100% be returning.
