Adopt-A-Park, Trail or Dyke

The City of Richmond's Adopt-A-Park, Trail or Dyke Program encourages participants to contribute to the maintenance and care of Richmond's parks, dykes, trails and walkways. A partial list of possible work includes:

• litter control
• mowing grass areas
• watering gardens and trees
• edging grass and garden areas
• weed control
• pruning
• reporting vandalism and repair needs to the City
• park patrol
• illegal dumping removal

There are many ways of supporting this program including graffiti removal and elements of other adoptive programs. City staff can help with the choosing of a park, trail or dyke section and provide garbage bags for each clean up with litter pick up. On-site recognition signs are also part of this program.

For more information and ways to get involved, contact the Parks Program Coordinator at 604-247-4453.
