parkkeeper

Public garden custodian

A parkkeeper is a person employed to maintain and supervise a public park, ensuring its grounds are tidy, its rules are followed, and its visitors behave appropriately.

The term is more common in British English, where American English tends toward park ranger or groundskeeper.

The parkkeeper chased the boys off the cricket pitch.

The role traditionally involves both caretaking duties and a degree of authority over park users.
