Adopt a Park/Trail Program
The City of Appleton has an extensive park and trail system which requires continual maintenance and upkeep. While City staff address the basic maintenance needs of these sites, there is always opportunity to further enhance these Appleton greenspaces. The Park, Recreation, and Facilities Management Department has developed an Adopt a Park/Trail program to involve volunteers with maintaining, improving and monitoring of the City’s parks and trails. By agreeing to adopt specific areas within the community and making a regular effort to address minor maintenance, this program allows for individuals, businesses and community groups to play a direct role in the upkeep and beautification of our parks and trails. Groups also receive recognition through the placement of a sign naming them as the adopter of the park or trail.
