Adopt-A-Park Program

Introduction

Government officials have recognized the many benefits associated with implementing Adopt-A-Park programs across the state of Oregon. In creating an Adopt-A-Park program, the City of Woodburn will be able to provide local citizens the opportunity to help beautify and care for city parks while assisting the City in maintaining clean, safe, and attractive parks for its citizens.

Purpose

The City of Woodburn Public Works is responsible for maintaining eleven developed park sites throughout the City. The attractiveness of many of the parks can be enhanced with the assistance of concerned citizens and organizations willing to donate their time and efforts in support of park maintenance and beautification programs.
