Other ways to get involved:

Adopt-A-Park Program: Help the City keep your parks clean and beautiful by making a long-term commitment to your favorite neighborhood park. We encourage citizens to adopt a park as a family, small group, or organization to make it fun!

Special Parks Projects: This program is for citizens who prefer periodic or short-term volunteer commitments. Citizens have the opportunity to help the City with park development, restoration, landscaping, painting, and equipment repair. This is a great opportunity for Eagle Scouts, school classrooms, and students wanting to earn community service hours.

Volunteer Program Coordination: Be a community leader and help the City with volunteer recruitment, training, and coordination.

For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please contact the Community Services Director at (541) 935-2191.
