Support Your Park
 
You can help Hot Springs National Park in many ways. We have volunteer positions year round. Supporting the park's store in the visitor center provides funding for interpretive programs. The park Friends group, Friends of the Fordyce and Hot Springs National Park, engages in fundraising to help the park with purchases and special projects.
