Clark County Public Works is searching for a community-minded nature lover to step into the role of volunteer park host at Captain William Clark Regional Park at Cottonwood Beach. This call for applications opens an opportunity for someone to live amidst nature and play a crucial role in maintaining the splendor of this 75-acre haven. Tasks will include keeping park restrooms clean, managing the opening and closing of park gates, and ensuring a welcoming environment for visitors.
The park host will reside in a county-owned residence within the park premises, with the basic utilities such as electricity, water, sewer, and garbage/recycling taken care of by Clark County. While the day might start with opening gates at 7 a.m. and end after sundown, the host's duties extend beyond these hours to include litter pickup, garbage disposal, and providing notifications during park closures, as reported by Clark County Public Works.
Anyone considering this voluntary commitment should be ready for a comprehensive vetting process, including state and federal background checks, fingerprinting, and submission of rental history and proof of renter’s insurance. According to the county's official page, applicants who get the green light can't move into the park immediately. They must patiently wait several weeks for all the paperwork and processes to wrap up.
