The Adopt-a-Park program is here to help keep our parks, roads, and trails clean and safe. The goal of the Adopt-a-Park program is to help residents feel proud of their community. Volunteers and local organizations will work together to maintain great parks and trails which help make Milton great!

How it works

Park, trail or road adopters agree to host a spring and fall clean-up. The Town of Milton provides volunteer groups with tools (garbage bags, gloves, safety tips, etc.) in order to perform these cleanups successfully and safely.

If you are interested in adopting a park, please fill out an application.
