Murphey Candler Park Neighborhood resident, Steve Peters, gives park cleanup days new momentum with Adopt the Park Initiative.
For years, MCPC has initiated park cleanup days at Murphey Candler Park. Volunteers gather and focus on clearing fallen tree limbs, debris and invasive plants like ivy. The highlight is always getting the canoes out of storage and picking the lake shoreline for yucky, storm leftovers. These cleanup days are a vital component of park maintenance and awareness.
Recently, Steve Peters, a twenty 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.

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 120-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.
