Get Involved

We love the parks and want to do all we can to make them enjoyable for you, your family, and friends.  But, we can always use help!

The biggest issue that plagues the parks is – litter.  It is a sad fact that many inconsiderate people throw their trash to the ground and leave litter behind, marring the beauty and serenity of park lands.

Truly, one of the best ways to help is to encourage others not to litter and, if you see something on the ground, pick it up and dispose of it properly.

Below is a listing of just a few other ways you can help.
