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 Spring 2009 Recap 

A huge thank you to all the dedicated Adopt-A-Park volunteers who have donated their time to beautify their Park!

Spring is just getting started and we've already been working hard!  Here’s a glance at what we’ve been up to: 

The Sisters of Phi Rho Alpha spent the afternoon adding new playground chips and sand to the play area in addition to tidying up the park.   

Neighbors of Winewood Thaler held their first Adopt-A-Park event.  They did a great job cleaning up the park!
