Park Stewardship
The City of Detroit relies on engaged and active citizens to help take care of and activate Detroit’s parks. See below for all the ways you can get involved and help keep Detroit beautiful.
The Adopt-A-Park Stewardship Program is a partnership between the City of Detroit, Detroit Parks Coalition, and community groups who beautify and activate their local parks.
Adopt-a-Park stewards commit to hosting cleanups and events in their local parks. The City of Detroit, in partnership with the Detroit Parks Coalition (DPC), will connect Stewards with resources such as potential grants, sponsorships, trainings, some supplies for clean-ups and events, and other potential benefits provided by DPC and the City. The City will give stewards priority in permitting their events that are free and open to the public and waive some permit fees.
(Free community events etc)
Post your park events for all to see on this city-wide events calendar hosted by Detroit Parks Coalition. In order to be featured, events must be free of charge, open to the public, and take place in a park within the City of Detroit. Be sure to add registration info and instructions for volunteers to sign up for your event if applicable.
