ADOPT A PARK
The City's Adopt-a-Park program allows people to help
in the maintenance of the City's park system. We are fortunate to
have people that are willing to plant flowers in and maintain the
park areas. This is a great activity for youth groups, civic groups,
and concerned citizens as it displays the pride we have in our community.
For more information please call Mark Glessner at (269) 273-1845.
