What is the Adopt-A-Park?

The Adopt-A-Park program is a partnership between the City of Belle Glade and it’s residents. Adopt-A-Park program is designed to help keep city parks attractive and safe with the ultimate goal to encourage people to enjoy the benefits of the parks.

This program is designed to begin a relationship between a city park and individuals or volunteers from organizations, schools, youth groups, places of worship and businesses who might live near the park. By caring and helping to maintain the city  park, the residents will take ownership of “their” park. This ownership can result in lowering crime in the area and beautifying the park at the same time.

What level of involvement is required to Adopt-A-Park?

 Volunteers organize clean-up days a few times a year to pick up light debris which will help maintain the park for community use. Volunteer groups are encouraged to use their park throughout the year. Landscaping, painting and upkeep of park buildings are other tasks that can be addressed by the volunteer group. Cleanup and painting supplies will be supplied by the City of Belle Glade to partnership with the citizens wishing to help.

 What are the Benefits to Adopting a City Park?

 This program allows community groups to make a lasting contribution to their community through a commitment to improving a city park site. It provides opportunities for community groups, organizations, businesses, and individuals to get involved in City wide beautification projects. All participating Adopt-A-Park groups will  receive a City Proclamation Award during a city council meeting in  appreciation of their hard work and dedication. An Adopt-A-Park sign with the sponsoring group’s names will be placed in an appropriate area of the park in recognition of the ongoing volunteer group’s efforts.
