For the role, park aides work in one large park or cover an area with several smaller parks. As Washington has an array of diverse environments, this job is available in many different settings. From old-growth forests to channeled scablands and beaches, park aides are needed.

Keep in mind that most park aide positions are non-permanent. The position typically runs for five to six months, although some parks offer park aides temporary housing.
