The Adopt-a-County-Park Program is a means for citizens, civic organizations, neighborhood groups, churches, etc. to provide a community service by agreeing to minor maintenance such as litter pick up, cleaning of play equipment, and painting of wood fencing in a County park that they "adopt." The agreement between group and County calls for maintenance in the adopted park a minimum of four times a year. The county provides all the necessary equipment for the clean-ups, as well as erecting an attractive permanent sign recognizing the group's participation. No cost is involved for the participant.
