Leave-A-Mark, Adopt-A-Park! 

What is Adopt-a-Park?

It’s an opportunity to help keep YOUR Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission facilities attractive and safe so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of the largest county park system in the State of Michigan.

What is required to participate?

Your time and effort are all that’s needed! Participants are asked to commit to cleaning up trash and brush a minimum of three times per year, usually done to coincide with the beginning, middle, and end of the busy summer season.

Is there a fee?

There is no fee required to participate.

How can a group Adopt-a-Park?

Applications can be downloaded here or picked up at the Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission Administrative Headquarters, 5045 Stanley Road, Flint, MI 48506. You can also send an e-mail request to Parkswebteam@gcparks.org or call us and we'll mail you one.
 

How do we get the supplies that we need to do our project?

Let us know what date you’ve picked to do your clean-up and then stop by the Genesee County Parks & Recreation Commission Administrative Headquarters, 5045 Stanley Rd., Flint, MI 48506 anytime Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm to pick up your trash bags.

What do we get in return for our hard work?

In addition to the personal gratification of knowing that you are helping YOUR Genesee County Parks, your group will receive an invitation to the Genesee County Parks & Recreation Commission annual volunteer recognition event; an annual $25 discount on the rental of a pavilion, and after the completion of 25 hours of service, your group’s name on a recognition plaque placed at the site of your clean-up!

Is there anything else we have to do?

Contact the Adopt-a-Park Coordinator before and after your project. Let us know when you plan to do your project, how many people participated, how much trash you collected, how many hours it took, and whether our maintenance department needs to follow up on anything.

Still have questions?
