Meet me at the Peach!
Volunteer
Peach Hill Park would not exist without the work of dedicated volunteers. In only a few years these volunteers have accomplished a lot and we always need more help!
Our volunteers have:
- Helped raise public and governmental support for acquiring the park
- Raised money and solicited grants to fund the purchase, development and operation of the park
- Solicited input into future development
- Built trails, overlooks and picnic areas
- Removed accumulated debris
- Run public programs to introduce the park to others
- Pruned apple trees
- Improved habitat
- Solicited donations to support the ongoing costs of park maintenance
The volunteers are organized as the Friends of Peach Hill Park. Members of the Board of Directors, elected annually by the Friends, works with the Town of Poughkeepsie Recreation Department on the day-to-day management of the park.
