The Adopt-a-Park Program is a great community service activity that gives residents of Rochester the opportunity to help keep the parks clean and looking good. Participants' primary duties are to pick up litter and report any vandalism or unsafe conditions they observe in the parks. If your group, organization, family, or you are interested in making the community a better place to live, work, and play, consider Adopting-a-Park.
The Rochester Parks & Recreation Department extends a very appreciative 'thank you' to all current and past participants of the Adopt-a-Park Program for their hard work and dedication toward making Rochester a nicer place to live and play.
