The Westchester County Department of Public Safety is now accepting applications for seasonal park rangers to patrol county parks for the 2025 summer season.
Uniformed park rangers work under the supervision of county police officers to maintain a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in the county’s parks. They assist park users, provide information on park rules and procedures, help in searches for lost children, perform basic first aid on occasion and make regular security checks of buildings and facilities.
First-time park rangers are paid $17 hourly. Salaries are higher for those who were previously employed as a Westchester County seasonal park ranger. To qualify, applicants must:
- be a high school graduate
- be at least 18 years of age
- be a U.S. citizen
- possess a valid New York State driver’s license by the time of appointment.
Accepted candidates must attend a 162-hour training program at the Westchester County Police Academy.
