The Adopt-A-Park (AAP) program exists to promote partnerships between community members, groups, and businesses and the City Parks staff. Adopt-A Park volunteers participate in a variety of activities including removing litter and debris, controlling weeds, caring for plants, mulching around trees and planting areas, raking leaves, identifying hazards, reporting vandalism, and planting trees, shrubs, and other vegetation. The combined efforts of staff and volunteers create a beautiful, clean environment for all to enjoy. Follow this link to apply now!
