Adopt-A-Park and Adopt-A-Trail

City of Homer Alaska Official Website

Now is the time to get involved in your local parks and trails by adopting a park or trail! Get outside and help your community by signing up for regular trash patrols, maintenance projects, planting, garden maintenance, and more. 

Review the Adopt-A-Park Application (PDF) and Agreement (PDF) to learn more!

In May 2011, the City of Homer established an Adopt-a-Park program to accommodate and promote volunteer participation in conserving and maintaining city parks, trails, and recreational facilities. If you or your business or organization would like to adopt a park or trail, please fill out and return the attached application and agreement. From special one-time projects to weekly trash clean up there is something to fit everyone's time.

The first official adopting group was the Homer Kachemak Bay Rotary Club, who has adopted Ben Walters Park since 2011. Club members conduct clean-up events, painting, brushwork, picnic table and bench construction and repair, and miscellaneous projects.
