Dog Fancier Park Joins Ambassador Program

Dog Fancier Park Ambassadors are the newest group of volunteers to join the Clark County Parks & Recreation Ambassador Program.  Ambassadors welcome visitors to the parks and answer questions about park events, services, and amenities. Park Ambassadors also assist Clark County in being good stewards of our parks by reporting observed damage and vandalism that needs to be repaired. The Park Ambassadors at Dog Fancier Park have joined Clark County in its commitment to connect with dog park visitors in a meaningful way and to provide an enjoyable, safe, park experience for all. Clark County continues to work at promoting a positive social climate for all dogs and their owners, and we need the help of others who share our commitment. If you want to help keep County Parks beautiful and enjoyable, we want to meet you.

To become a Park Ambassador: Contact Della Boyd at (702) 455-6877.

Applications also are available on our Web site at www.accessclarkcounty.com/parks. Click on the Ambassador Program link.
