Become a Park Ambassador!

Park Ambassadors are volunteers who monitor and report back to staff information on the parks, trails, and greenways. Volunteers, as a representative of the department, will greet patrons, answer questions and support staff when needed.

Did you know that you can adopt a park or greenway? Take ownership of one of our many wonderful green spaces and adopt your favorite park.

A HUGE thanks to our current partners:

Elizabeth Neighborhood Association and Hawthorne’s Pizza - Independence Park
Perkins + Will - Thompsons Park
Providence High School ROTC-William R. Davie Park
IKEA Corp - Mallard Creek Greenway
McLeod Center and Ritz Carlton - Frazier Park
Spectrum Properties - Latta Park
Carolinas Health Care Information Services Department-Pearl and Baxter Street Park
Carolinas Health Care Corporate Community Relations-Liz Hair and Little Sugar Creek Greenway Metro
Touchstone Neighborhood Assocation - 4 Mile Greenway
UNC-Charlotte Cyclists - Toby Creek Greenway
Hands on Charlotte and Bank of America - Freedom Park
Trinity Episcopal School and Freedom School Partners - Alexander Street Park

With less staff due to budget cuts our parks still need the same amount of care to keep them clean and safe. Adoptees come out twice a week for unsupervised trash pickups and a once every other month for a supervised project. Adoptees are recognized with a plaque in the park and have the ability to work closely with park and recreation staff to maintain and beautify the park/greenway. Email Lori Saylor for more information.
