Humboldt Park Ranger Program

Have fun learning about and exploring Humboldt Park with the Ranger program, presented by the Humboldt Park Friends. Earn a badge and become a junior steward of the park.

The Humboldt Park Ranger Program is a self-guided program for children ages 5 and up and their families. It is designed to teach children about Humboldt Park’s history, wildlife, geography, and celebrations. Requirements include completing an activity booklet and reciting the park pledge. Children who complete the program will be awarded a special badge to show off their stewardship

We have free park activity books available to kids 6-12. ( A donation to Humboldt Park Friends is welcomed )

When kids complete enough of the book they receive a custom embroidered patch at one of our general meetings.

Are you interested in getting a book for your little one? Fill out the form and we will contact you to arrange pickup.
