ADOPT A PARK PROGRAM
The purpose of this program is to enlist the community's involvement with selective maintenance within a park in order to maintain a clean park environment for all to enjoy. Tasks may include trash pickup, graffiti reporting, weeding/raking playgrounds, sweeping shelters, cleaning picnic tables, mulching trees/shrubs, and reporting vandalism.
Adopters can also help with special projects, such as graffiti cover-up and painting and planting flowers. Some projects and tasks are not available year-round and may be available only at specific parks.
The Adopt A Park program, started in December 2010, has been steadily growing with seven of twenty eight parks adopted to date. Each week, more community organizations and individuals call for details on the program.
The Recreation and Parks Department is proud welcome our partners in keeping Boynton's parks clean and thanks them for their commitment to the community, nature and play.
