Adopt-A-Park/Trail Program
You or your civic group, church, school, or business can make a direct contribution to our community by adopting a portion of a park or trail within the El Paso County Parks system. All it takes it some caring, time, and a little effort.
Groups and individuals can participate by visiting the adopted site at least twice a year to help pick up trash, look for signs of vandalism and report any problems. Special work projects may include flower or tree planting, building park benches, or repairing trails.
Take the time to enjoy the great outdoors and improve the beauty of your community at the same time!
