Adopt-A-Park Volunteer Program

The City of Raleigh offers a variety of volunteer opportunities specifically geared towards protecting and improving the environment for active participation by individuals, families, businesses, civic and community groups.

The Raleigh Parks and Recreation Adopt-A-Park Program is always looking for new volunteer individuals and groups to enhance city parks, trails and facilities. These enhancements may include gardening, landscaping, litter and debris removal, mulching, painting, trail maintenance and more.

The program is structured to ensure the success of each volunteer project by establishing project parameters and detailing responsibilities of both the volunteer and the department.

The citizen volunteer or group agrees to maintain the designated park, trail or open space quarterly for at least one year. The volunteer or group of volunteers is asked to sign an Adopt-A-Park agreement. This agreement is renewed on a yearly basis.
