 Adopt-a-ParkWho can adopt a park? Residents, schools, organizations, clubs, businesses and industries can help enhance their local environment by adopting a park. What does it involve? Participants in this program keep the adopted park area clean of litter and are to report any maintenance, vandalism or safety issues to the City. The City accepts new applications anytime throughout the year. Agreements are reviewed and renewed every year.
The City will process requests to adopt specific parks/open spaces on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Superintendent, Municipal Operations will make the final determination as to whether a group can adopt a park or renew their participation in the program. What are the rules? Adopt-A-Park is a voluntary program and the City does not provide insurance for participant volunteers. Participants must abide by any appropriate legislative requirements when engaging in maintenance activities. All participants are required to conduct themselves in a polite manner and to keep child participants supervised at all times. It is the responsibility of the adopting group to advise and obtain approval from the parents/guardians of all child participants under the age of 18 years, taking part in the program prior to their children’s participation.
