Adopt a Park pilot

Adopt a Park is a volunteer-based pilot program with the goal of creating cleaner neighbourhood parks and green spaces.

This program encourages residents, businesses, and organizations to take an active role in keeping their neighbourhoods healthy and litter-free while connecting with their community.

We look forward to having you join our Adopt a Park team. 

If you have any questions, email us at cleanup@vancouver.ca.

Participate in the program

The pilot program will be open to current cleanup volunteers from the Adopt a Block program who meet the program prerequisites. If the pilot is successful, the program will open up to all interested individuals and groups in the future. 

Continue to check back for updates on the pilot and for information on how you can participate.

For additional volunteer opportunities, check out our neighbourhood cleanup programs.
