The Adopt-A-Park program brings Tempe neighbors and community members together,
in an effort to maintain our neighborhood parks.
Clean, green and safe parks are an essential part of creating and maintaining a friendly and healthy community. Tempe’s parks help increase the visual appeal of neighborhoods and provide a safe
place for neighbors to gather, friends to meet and kids to play.
