Parks Adopt a Park Program

Adopt A Park/ Friends of the Greenway

Longmont's Adopt-a-Park and Friends of the Greenway Program invites community assistance to help maintain and beautify our parks and Greenways. Through the efforts of individuals and groups, our parks will continue to be widely enjoyed areas for citizens and visitors alike. Sound like fun?

Who?
Any individual, family, business or organization can adopt a Park area or Greenway segment.
What?
  • Trash & Debris pick-up for Parks crew disposal
  • Structure upkeep - painting benches, picnic tables, shelters.
  • Flower & shrub bed care planting, weeding, mulching
  • Athletic facilities upkeep - sweeping bleachers, dugout, etc.
  • Playground area upkeep and/ or sweeping.
  • Clean up around pond areas (i.e. Golden Ponds, Izaak Walton, Loomiller, etc.)
  • Where?
    Choose a Park, primary Greenway trail or a section of the St.Vrain Greenway corridor to adopt, or let our Parks & Forestry staff will help you find one.
    Why?
  • Help discourage vandalism and littering by being visible on a regular basis.
  • Learn about flower planting, plant care and maintenance.
  • Receive recognition for you, your family or group with a sign at your adoption site.
  • Feel a sense of community pride by making Longmont more beautiful.
  • Have fun!
  • When?
    Early mornings, Saturday or Sunday afternoons - or maybe just an hour or two on a nice evening. Anytime is fine with us. The minimum requirement is once every other month or 6 times/ year. However, weekly or monthly visits are much more effective. The commitment is for one year.
