ADOPT-A-PARK PROGRAM
Adopt-A-Park is a program developed by the Lisle Park District that invites and trains residents and business community members who wish to assist in the general care and maintenance of parks and park amenities by selecting a specific location to care for. Show pride in your community, spend quality time outdoors and work hands-on to assist the Lisle Park District in helping to keep our 38 parks clean and litter free.
All participants should be over 18 years of age unless accompanied by an adult supervisor.
