Get more involved while helping to keep your community clean and attractive. When a group adopts a park from the Elmhurst Park District, the organization’s members pick up litter, report vandalism, make recommendations to improve the park’s amenities, general maintenance, and keep an eye on the park. Groups are asked to commit to volunteering at least one day per month from April to December.

This is a perfect volunteering opportunity for families, youth groups, neighborhood associations, civic groups, religious organizations, service organizations, schools (school groups and teams), businesses and other community organizations. Spend time together and help your community!

Visit the Park District's Adopt-a-Park webpage to fill out an application.
