Opportunities in Your Community
Have you considered adoption?
The Delaware Parks & Recreation Department has a variety of parks, trails and lanscape beds looking for someone to adopt them.  Individuals, families, Church groups, businesses or other agencies can beautify their community while spending quality time outdoors and getting some exercise.  Please consider serving your community through one of the following adoption opportunities.

Adopt A Park
Delaware has 21 parks with three more on the way by 2011.  Help clean up and maintain your neighborhood park or help out with one of our larger community parks through park adoption.

Adopt A Trail
The city has over 14 miles of bikeways which are difficult to monitor and maintain.  Take a walk, do a little clean up and report back any maintenance issues to help keep our trails looking good and safe for walkers, runners and bikers.

Adopt A Landscape Bed
In an effort to provide more beautification in our parks and at key City entrances and gateways (i.e. the new Point intersection), we are looking for plant/material  donations and /or people to help maintain some of our most prominent landscape beds around town.
