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.

The Adopt-A-Park program offers neighborhood groups, community organizations and local businesses a way to help enhance the appearance, safety and cleanliness of these important entities.

Duties for Adoptive Groups include:

• Picking up trash and litter
• Raking leaves, pulling weeds and fluffing playground sand
• Sanitizing playground equipment with soap and water
• Sweeping all hard surfaces (i.e. basketball courts, sidewalks, ramadas, etc.
• Reporting any vandalism, dirty restrooms, unsafe conditions and/or necessary repairs
• Special projects that may be assigned by parks and recreation staff

Benefits of Adopting a Neighborhood Park include:

• Makes a positive difference in the community
• Serves as a team-building exercise for the organization
• City recognition of the adoptive group

Applications for the Adopt-A-Park program are accepted year-round.
