About

The goal of the Adopt-A-Park Program is to build a sense of community pride and ownership around every 
neighborhood park. Adopt-a-Park is a collaborative partnership between Austin Parks & Recreation and Austin 
Parks Foundation to build community and stewardship at neighborhood parks throughout Austin. The program 
supports and champions a growing network of groups caring and advocating for neighborhood parks.

The Adopt-a-Park group will:
  • commit to a minimum of one year of service.
  • organize a community-based volunteer group.
  • be inclusive and welcome all stakeholders and park users that want to be involved with the park.
  • utilize a collaborative approach and attempt to build consensus.
  • track volunteer projects and hours using GivePulse
  • acquire approval prior to initiating any maintenance, improvement projects or programming.
The Parks and Recreation Department will:
  • communicate about plans for the park.
  • review, approve and collaborate (where possible) on volunteer and park improvement projects.
  • bring park professional knowledge, expertise and perspective.
Austin Parks Foundation will:
  • provide tools, volunteer recruitment, resources and grant opportunities.
  • provide training and education.
