The goals of the Metro District's Park Ranger program are to:

• Provide a broad range of safe, enjoyable outdoor recreation experiences for all visitors.
• Protect and preserve park and natural resources.
• Foster stewardship through education and information sharing.

Metro District Park Rangers are commissioned as code enforcement officers by the Douglas County Sheriff to enforce: 

• 18-9-117 -- Unlawful conduct on public property
• R-998-100 -- Douglas County Resolution on the control and licensing of dogs and pet animals
