About City of Buena Park
What is the City of Buena Park?
The City of Buena Park is the municipal government of Buena Park, California — an Orange County city of roughly 84,000 in the northwest corner of the county, styled the "Center of the Southland". Founded in 1887 as an agricultural settlement (dairy, wine and citrus) and incorporated in 1953, it is best known today as the home of Knott's Berry Farm — the city's largest employer at over 5,000 — plus Knott's Soak City and the Beach Boulevard "E-Zone" entertainment district with Medieval Times and Pirate's Dinner Adventure. PepsiCo and Yamaha also run major operations in the city.
Where will I work?
Buena Park City Hall at 6650 Beach Blvd. The compressed week is structural: the city's own City Hall page reads "Hours: 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Monday - Thursday; Closed Fridays", and the Human Resources department repeats it — "The Human Resources Department is open to serve you from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday through Thursday. We are closed Fridays." Four ten-hour days, every Friday off.
What is the City of Buena Park team like?
A charter city with a council-manager government and approximately 400 employees across its own Police Department, Water Utilities, Community Development, Community Services, Public Works, Parks and Recreation and Economic Development. We list the city's civilian professional roles; sworn police positions and recreation/after-school program roles run their own duty rosters and are excluded from our feed.
Work-Life Balance
Every Friday belongs to you, structurally — the building is closed. Buena Park's 4/10 covers the civic workforce as the default pattern rather than an individual arrangement, which is exactly the kind of schedule this platform exists to surface. Standard California municipal conditions apply, with salary ranges published on every job bulletin.
Perks and Benefits
- 4/10 compressed schedule — City Hall closed every Friday

Note: Buena Park gates its detailed employee-benefits pages behind an employee login, so we list only what the city publishes openly.
