The City of Dickson Parks & Recreation Department is now accepting applications for seasonal employees, and these positions are a great opportunity for teens and young adults looking for meaningful, active work in a fun, community-focused environment.

Seasonal staff play an important role in keeping our parks and programs running smoothly. Employees may work at the Splash Pad, day camps, special events, and other Parks & Recreation programs throughout the season. This is a hands-on job that takes place outdoors, often around both children and adults, and requires a strong sense of responsibility and awareness.

Seasonal employees should be prepared to help keep facilities clean, assist with daily operations, and ensure the safety of park visitors when needed. Shifts may fall anytime between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and employees must be able to work a minimum of 30 hours per pay period. Pay for these positions starts at $12.50 per hour.

We’re looking for individuals who are dependable, proactive, and able to think for themselves. Strong communication skills are important, as seasonal staff regularly interact with the public, coworkers, and supervisors. The ability to follow rules, stay attentive, and step in when help is needed is essential. Previous work experience is helpful but not required—this can be an excellent first job for teens or a solid seasonal role for young adults.

Above all, we’re looking for people who enjoy working with others, take pride in their work, and are willing to help create a safe, welcoming experience for everyone who uses our parks.

Applications can be submitted online or in person at the City of Dickson Parks & Recreation office, located at 213 Bruce Drive, Dickson, TN 37055. Anyone with questions is encouraged to call

(615) 446-1721.

If you’re looking for a job that builds responsibility, communication skills, and real-world experience—while still being fun and active—this may be the perfect fit.
