Our Adopt Program has been created to encourage the community to help beautify the city through its park and city-owned landscape; parks, trails and greenspace. This is a volunteer program to encourage community pride and make Marion an attractive place to live and visit.  Individuals and groups will be able to adopt select areas in the Marion parks system and maintain them from April to November.

Learn more about this Adopt-A-Flowerbed & Adopt-A-Spot volunteer opportunity.
