CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department has extended an invitation for new members of their Adopt-a-Park program.
According to the release, the Adopt-a-Park program is a volunteer opportunity through Parks & Rec for residents, businesses and organizations to help keep the parks, beaches, and trails clean and beautiful. The program gives volunteers a sense of park ownership and an outlet to give back to the community and the natural environment.
Currently, 33 parks have been adopted, but 132 parks are still available.
Potential partners have three opportunity tiers:
- Tier 1: Monthly litter cleanup commitment of 1.5 hours
- Tier 2: Tier 1 requirement plus an additional one-time pre-approved project such as a garden, additional seating, or any items to benefit the park
- Tier 3: All the Tier 1 & 2 requirements plus an additional one-time pre-approved major project such as additional playground equipment or specialized park amenities
All three tiers require routine reporting to Parks & Rec on the adopted park's condition and any areas needing repairs or maintenance.
Some current Adopt-a-Park participants include:
- Friends of Collier Park
- Gopher Disc Golf
- Pony Boy Skate Company
- The Audubon Outdoor Club of Corpus Christi
- For the Greater Good
- Friends of Old Bayview Cemetery Association
- The North Beach Community Association
- Third Coast Disc Golf
