Adopt a Park ancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation believes that anyone and everyone can make a difference in how the 7,286 acres of local parks look and operate. By participating in the Adopt-A-Park program, volunteers will Vbeautify public space and build community. Park adopters can choose the days and times they want to volunteer and are asked to visit the park two or more times per month. Adopt-A-Park tasks vary depending upon on needs of individual parks, but in all cases volunteers are encouraged to help remove litter and weeds, clean play equipment and spread bark chips. In appreciation of the volunteers’ commitment and dedication to their adopted park, a recognition sign will be placed at the park’s entrance three months after the fi rst cleanup. This sign lets park visitors know that the group cares about YOUR NAME HERE! their community and value parks as an important resource. Since the program began in late 2011, volunteers have dedicated almost 2,300 hours of park service. This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, For more information contact the parks volunteer program: 360-487-8344 scout troops, businesses, neighborhood associations and other groups to www.parkhero.org partner with the city and county to keep our parks clean and enjoyable.
