Adopt the Park

Recently, Steve Peters, a twenty-five year resident of MCP, spearheaded the Adopt the Park initiative.  Steve is targeting sports leagues, local businesses, Girl and Boy Scouts, charitable organizations, local schools and more.  His goal is to encourage each organization to adopt a section of the park.

Park cleanup days are a vital component of park maintenance and awareness. One major way of maintaining a consistent impact will be the Adopt the Park initiative, where an organization takes custody of a geographic area of the park through cleanup days and regular upkeep. ​

The park contains 135-acres of lake, natural habitat, wetlands and nature trails and needs constant support to keep its natural beauty.  Through Steve's initiative, MCPC hopes to establish long-term relations with  volunteering organizations in order to improve the park. 
​
​With your help, we can source volunteers from local organizations to improve and preserve Murphey Candler Park.
