Adopt-A-Park

About the Adopt-A-Park Program

The primary purpose of the Adopt-A-Park program is to promote partnerships between community groups, philanthropic organizations, and businesses to assist Public Works staff with routine maintenance, clean up, and beautification of parks, open spaces, and trails.

Through the use of volunteers, designated areas will be spruced up by removing litter and debris, controlling weeds, caring for plants, mulching around trees and planting areas, raking leaves, sweeping ball courts, identifying hazards, reporting vandalism, and planting trees, shrubs, and other approved vegetation.

Why Adopt a Park?

Given the amount of park land and trails and our small Parks Department, it is often challenging to keep up with the tremendous use of our open spaces. Your volunteer efforts can make the difference in achieving the high standards we have for these important areas in our community. With your help, we can keep the parks and trails safe, functional and beautiful.
