Advocates for Parks and Trails
We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization formed to encourage citizens to take an active role in our parks. Parks and trails improve the quality of life in our community by providing opportunities for families to play, relax, and be healthy.
Adopt-a-Park Program
Our Adopt-a-Park program coordinates volunteer activities such as spreading play chips, painting structures and planting trees. The program provides volunteer opportunities for families, businesses and organizations.
