Park Safety & Regulations
Our Jackson County Parks + Rec Rangers serve the citizens of Jackson County, and one million plus visitors to our Park System, each year. They are often the first point of contact and are literally "THE Parks Department" to the hundreds of guests they interact with each year. Rangers provide the public with important information about our vast 21,000-acre park system, as well as park safety, and enforcement of park rules and regulations. Jackson County Parks + Rec is the largest park system in the State of Missouri, and one of the largest county parks systems in the country. Rangers patrol by vehicle, boat, ATV, bike and on foot.
