Lake Havasu’s Adopt-A-Park Program
November 1, 2011
Lake Havasu City is offering the all new Adopt-A-Park program to allow residents to get involved in maintaining, park improvements and general upkeep. Park goers, as well as organizations, can now get in on the act of giving back to their local community. The Mayor needed a solution for those who wanted to do more to improve the city’s parks and the Adopt-A-Park program was born. Many community members want to ensure our parks are pretty and kept that way. However, the limited number of staff the city has to maintain the highest level of service is not available to keep up such a high level of service.
Lake Havasu has so many wonderful volunteers in the city, so council members thought it would be perfect for folks to have the opportunity to Adopt-A-Park. The city’s Parks and Recreation director said the program’s main purpose is to make sure the parks are maintained in the future. The one thing that will make a difference is to give the community the opportunity to be involved in improvements without limitations. They can be even be part of the decisions on improvements.
Direct funding is a potential option as the planned program allows for residents to become actively involved in the parks’ improvement process. For instance, say a group wants to take a dog park or a length of beaches, then those sections would be for that group or person. They have the options to allow anyone who wants to be involved to contribute.
