Kirkland’s Adopt-a-Park program is a way for individuals, groups, or businesses to show their pride and commitment to the city's parks and green spaces. With your help, we can keep our city parks beautiful, clean, and safe.
Once a group adopts a park, they are responsible for around four (4) service projects a year. Approximately one project or cleanup per quarter is recommended.
Each group will work with the Park Management Coordinator to identify appropriate service projects.
For one-time volunteer activities, please check out the Parks Beautification Program or Green Kirkland Partnership.
There are many different projects that can be done in the parks. Each park has a different need and the needs vary with the weather and time of year. A work plan will be created for each adopted park specifying the needs of that park as potential volunteer projects. Some examples of typical projects:
*The City of Kirkland has 26 wood, dirt & gravel citywide trails and paths that could be adopted in lieu of a park.
Yes, tools and supplies will be provided by the City of Kirkland’s Park Management Department.
Yes, the City of Kirkland will install one acknowledgement sign at the adopted park for the public to see.
