Adoptees must

agree to pick up litter or debris such as paper, bottles, cans and small

branches once a month. Groups are recognized by an Adopt-A-Park sign at

the parks with the names of these individuals, organizations and businesses

for their hard work and contribution to help keep city parks looking the

best that they can all year round.

More than one

individual, group or organization can adopt a park. Some parks have more

than one adoptee and each particular group may choose to do a clean up

at the beginning, middle or end of the month providing continual service.

The Recreation

Department commends the support of these volunteers for continuing effort

A Helpful Citizen

The Recreation

Department reports several areas in larger parks that are still available

for adoption. To support the Adopt-A-Park effort a group or individual

can choose from Beaver Dam Park-Wynmeade, Clover Reach Park, Drake Field,

Glenloch Recreation Complex-Soccer Fields, Jim Meade Memorial Fields,

Picnic Park, South 74 Baseball area or Shakerag Knoll.

Due to the

abundance of activity in city parks during the upcoming months, volunteers

are in demand. Volunteers can make a difference too! For more information

on joining the Adopt-A-Park program call Joyce Williams at the Recreation

Administration Office, Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. at 770-631-2542.
