女主人公 Leslie Knope（Amy Poehler）是印第安纳州 Pawnee 地区「公园与公共娱乐部门」的中层官员。为了美化自己的家园，Leslie 选择了一个看似简单的计划：帮助护士 Ann Perkins（Rashida Jones）将一处废地（深坑）变为一个社区公园。Leslie 的同事 Tom Haverford（Aziz Ansari）是个为了私利而一心向上爬的家伙，他经常给 Leslie「帮倒忙」。Leslie 的上司 Ron Swanson（Nick Offerman）虽然位居高官，却是个顽固的无政府主义者，他的言行观点给 Leslie 带来很大阻力。城市规划师 Mark Brendanawicz（Paul Schneider）则坚定地站在 Leslie 这一边，但 15 年的公共服务生涯，也搞坏了他的脾气和对未来的看法。Leslie 希望借助自己的成功来影响大学实习生 April（Aubrey Plaza）及 April 这一代人。她有个一直没有对人提及的「终极目标」－－她决心成为美国历史上第一位女总统。
