Since 1998, Sparks Adopt-A-Park program has allowed organizations, groups, and individuals to participate in the maintenance and enhancement of the 40+ parks in the Sparks area. Duties of volunteers range from cleaning and pulling weeds to raking and painting, and one of the most important tasks is simply communicating any damage, vandalism, or other potential problems to the City.

Currently 17 parks are adopted and cared for, leaving around 30 still available for adoption.

Volunteers work at their own convenience with minimal supervision. Not only do volunteers gain satisfaction through community involvement and park beautification; they also receive public acknowledgement in Parks and Recreation newsletters and activity guides and have a courtesy sign placed in the adopted park recognizing their volunteer efforts.
