Adopt-A-Park Program
About the Program

- Return all equipment, materials and supplies when the project is completed.
The City of Harrisburg will:

- Identify parks available to adopt and provide a list of park needs.
- Provide instruction and coordination for assigned work projects with the adopting group.
