Adopt a Park
Red Deer’s Waskasoo Park system is the envy of many cities. You can help protect the parks and the wildlife that inhabit them by adopting a park.
Your commitment can be as simple or as involved as you choose. With Adopt a Park, you can work as an individual, group or business to protect the green spaces that make living in Red Deer so unique.
What would I have to do?
Adopting a park is a commitment, but the amount of time you put in can vary.
Here are some examples of what adopting a park or trail can mean:
- Picking up litter along creeks, trails, manicured parks or natural areas.
- Watching for alien weed invaders and managing them as necessary.
- Keeping an eye open for natural damage or dangers, vandalism, inappropriate use, and reporting such activity to Parks staff or the RCMP as appropriate.
