H.P.P.A. – Hokey Park needs you!

As with any similar organization, Hokey Park is in need of NEW VOLUNTEERS who would be willing to help the organization out at some level of participation. Whether it is our monthly organization meeting that deals with the park and all of our activities OR coaching a sports team, the special event planning that we do for the kids such as the Easter Egg Hunts, fishing contests, pool parties and Operation Santa Claus, we cannot do it without friends who volunteer a little time for a big reward – having a positive impact on the lives of the children who participate at HPPA or live in Hokendauqua.

If you have children in the organization, have an interest in youth sports and recreation or just want to help out for an hour or two each month, please contact us by sending an e-mail to info@hokeypark.org.
