The Adopt-A-Park program encourages community responsibility for our environment through scheduled litter cleanups. This program is a year-long commitment (with the option to extend) where organizations, groups, businesses, families, and individuals (18 years of age and older) agree to participate in a minimum of 6 cleanups a year.
We appreciate your interest in keeping Raleigh clean!
Powell Drive Park is where our Grandkids played. After retiring, my wife and I 'adopted' the park for monthly litter pick-ups. As the Grands grew, they joined us in our clean-up sessions - lots of fun times together. It's been rewarding to see the park 'grow' too - new children's playground, rebuilt tennis courts, renovated pavilion, new restrooms, improved basketball court, new garden of native plants. After some 12 years, our advice is: Volunteer - it helps keep you young!"
