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!
For more information about Adopt-A-Park, contact the Adopt-A-Park Coordinator by email Adopt-A-Park or call 734.794.6627. |
The first Adopt-A-Park workday was at Wellington Park - what a great neighborhood!!!

Adopt-A-Park 2008-2009 Recap
Adopt-A-Park has had a pleasantly busy year. In the 2008-2009 fiscal year we had 41 workdays in 29 different parks and planted at total of 64 trees. We now have 38 adopted parks which is approximately 40% adoptable parks! A huge thank you to those who have stepped forward as park adopters, your work is appreciated every day.
This long, warm fall gave us the opportunity to have a record shattering 18 autumn work days. Thank you to the adopters and volunteers who came out to make the following parks even more fantastic: Belize, Bromley, Burns, Esch, Forsythe, Hanover Square, Island, Kilburn, Lawton, Liberty Plaza, The Ponds, Windemere, and Winewood Thaler.
