Thank you for reserving an Adopt-A-Park Service Kit!

Each year, Five Rivers MetroParks invites the community to come together in celebration of Earth Day through our Adopt-A-Park volunteer event—a day rooted in care, connection, and shared impact. From planting native trees and shrubs to removing invasive species, maintaining trails, picking up litter, and so much more, volunteers work side by side with our staff to protect the region’s natural heritage and provide outdoor experiences that inspire a personal connection with nature.

If you’re not able to join us at a scheduled project site, our Adopt-A-Park Service Kits offer a flexible way to still be part of the impact. Whether you're heading out solo, with friends, or alongside family, these kits make it easy to care for your local park or green space on your own time.

Service Kit Pick-Up Details

To receive your kit, please RSVP for a Drive-Thru Adopt-A-Park Service Kit Pick-Up. Kits will be available the morning of Saturday, April 25th, at the following locations — Click the park name below to reserve your kit:

Once your kit is reserved, please return to this page and respond to the Litter Pick-Up: Adopt-A-Park Service Kits 2026 opportunity below.

Team Registration & Responsibilities

As a Team Leader, you will:
