People from throughout the city will be rolling up their sleeves on Saturday, May 19, for the 2012 Adopt-A-Park Kick-off event at area parks. From 9 a.m. – noon, volunteers will participate in planting, mulching, general clean up — and, of course, camaraderie and fun. The kick-off event encourages neighbors to partner with one another, and the city, in ongoing efforts to ensure their parks are well cared for, safe and that the park features continue to meet the neighborhood’s needs.

Participating parks currently include: Belize, Bromley, Burr Oak, Glacier Highlands, Huron Highlands, Maryfield-Wildwood, Redwood, Rose White, Sculpture Plaza, Veteran’s Memorial, Waterworks, and Winewood Thaler.

For more information about Adopt-A-Park Kickoff, or to get your park involved, contact the Adopt-A-Park Coordinator by email Adopt-A-Park or call 734.794.6627.

What is Adopt-A-Park?

The City of Ann Arbor owns over 2000 acres of park land at 162 parks. We've had thousands of volunteers help to improve these areas - we would love your help in caring for all of these parks.
Regional parks like Veterans Memorial Park and neighborhood parks like Baxter, Churchill Downs, and Scheffler need neighbors and park users to take up their cause. Park Adopters have been planting and maintaining flower beds; maintaining the trails and paths; painting and caring for park structures; cleaning up litter; planting, mulching, and watering trees; and generally making sure the park is in order. The activities you can choose to do in your favorite park is primarily limited only by the needs of the park and your interest!
