Adopt-A-Park

The Adopt-A-Park program was established at the Champaign Park District in 1982. The purpose of the program is to encourage community groups or people in a park neighborhood to assume some responsibilities for their adopted park in order to maintain and program the park above the level that the Champaign Park District is able to achieve on its own. Adopted parks build community support and often become the focal point of neighborhood activities.

Any group in the community is welcome to discuss adopting a park with Park District staff. The adoption can involve ambitious fund-raising, programming, park maintenance and/or development, or it can be limited simply to upkeep of a flower bed, a neighborhood potluck, or surveillance for security.
