The Green Market is a program in partnership between the Piedmont Park Conservancy and the City of Atlanta Parks, Recreation and Bureau of Cultural Affairs and offers fresh, locally grown produce, farm fresh meats, artisan cheeses, snacks for everyone, live music, chef demos, kids programs and plain fun for all in a weekly open-air farmer's market. This program supports healthy lifestyles, encourages sustainable communities and has little impact on the park as it is held on the hardscape and not the landscape, which makes the market a very “green” program for the park.
Volunteers shifts are every Saturday between 7am and 2pm. Volunteers must be 13 years of age and older unless accompanied by an adult, able to communicate effectively with the public, lift up to 20 lbs., and work outdoors in various weather conditions (Market is rain or shine).

Green Market Chef Demonstration Assistant
Green Market Information Specialist
Green Market Kids Tent Crafts Facilitator

| LAPP - Piedmont Dog Park Patrol |
LAPP (leash-free Alliance of Piedmont Park) is a volunteer group that assists the Conservancy in fundraising efforts and clean up maintenance projects at the Piedmont Dog Park. The Piedmont Dog Park is one of the few locations in metro Atlanta where dogs may run free. This special off-leash area, open since 2002, is one of the most popular features of Piedmont Park. We need your help to keep it in tip-top condition for our four-legged friends. Volunteers will receive training and earn points towards special items throughout the season such as Conservancy memberships and pool passes.
Dogs are welcome to attend the project provided they are over 6 months old, fully vaccinated and non-aggressive. All dog activities will be the owner’s responsibility even while volunteering.
Volunteers must be 13 years of age and older unless accompanied by
an adult.
Volunteer shifts are on the 3rd Saturday of each month (except the month of April) and coincide with our 3rd Saturday Clean and Green Team volunteer opportunities.

In partnering with Piedmont Park, you are helping in the positive development of our community and its safety. The hours are flexible Sunday thru Saturday and are designed to have a daily impact on the park.
Park Ambassadors assist park visitors and program participants in various areas. Some duties include meeting and greeting park users, assisting park users and monitoring activity at Park amenities. Monitoring will be needed at the Piedmont Dog Park, the Piedmont Park Aquatics Center and the renovated playgrounds. Ambassadors will provide customer service in the Park and at events, support park safety and security by reporting areas in need of maintenance repairs and reporting any unlawful activity around or within the Park. Become the eyes and ears of Piedmont Park by observing Park patrons’ safety at amenities while enjoying the overall experience of interacting with the community!
