Spring Lake Nature Park, near Streator,Illinois,(North Central, IL) has an opening for a volunteer park host(s)now through October 31st 2013. This 37 acre city owned park is operated by congenial volunteers.

Singles and couples are welcome. Hosts work 3 or 4 days a week on alternating weeks. No physical labor and no restroom cleaning required. However, hosts who enjoy trail trimming and other physical activities are welcome to join with the park volunteers. Hosts greet park guests, open and close the park gate, and let the public know that the park is being watched. Park guests behave well and are respectful of hosts.

Hosts are able to observe deer, wild turkeys, a wide variety of birds, and other wildlife that live in the park. The two host campsites are spacious with full hookups. No public camping is accommodated.

We are still looking for park hosts. If you are looking for a mid-season spot, come enjoy our wonderful nature park.

laguyon, sounds great, Streator is a nice area. Also for those who could consider this, it's just over an hour to downtown Chicago with all the places to go there.

Maybe not paradise, but pretty close. Our hosts come back year after year to enjoy living in the park. I was at the park last night and watched the deer walking across the parking lot like it was a place to park deer.
