Adopt-A-Park needs volunteers

Lebanon’s Adopt-A-Park program encourages community involvement in keeping the city’s park system clean and visually appealing.

Organizations are encouraged to put together a work plan that could entail scheduled clean-up days, landscaping projects, or other improvement projects in Lebanon parks. This plan can be tailored to the organization’s resources and could range from projects scheduled for 1-2 days a year, or on a continual basis.

For all approved projects, the city will place a sign in the project area recognizing the volunteer efforts of the organization.
