Adopt-a-Park

Monticello residents, schools, clubs and service organizations can make our parks more beautiful for everyone by adopting one!

The program is set up for groups to visit their adopted park on a regular basis to pick up litter and perform tasks to help keep the park clean.

You're not expected to mow grass, trim vegetation, clean restrooms or perform major repairs or maintenance.

The work of volunteers helps keep our parks in their best condition throughout the busiest seasons. It also extends the benefits of tax dollars by allowing park employees to spend time on other crucial projects, such as major renovations, repairs, and maintenance work.

Plus, adopting a park isn't just about work; it's also about fun! Your group's time at your adopted park could include a picnic, outdoor games, or a fishing outing. Best of all, it's an opportunity to get to know one another better while making a difference in our community.
