Become a Park Ambassador! 

Park Ambassadors are volunteers who monitor and report back to staff information on the parks, trails, and greenways. Volunteers, as a representative of the department, will greet patrons, answer questions and support staff when needed.

Did you know that you can adopt a park or greenway? Take ownership of one of our many wonderful green spaces and adopt your favorite park.

A HUGE thanks to our current partners:

  • Elizabeth Neighborhood Association and Hawthornes Pizza - Independence Park
  • Perkins + Will - Thompsons Park
  • Providence High School ROTC-William R. Davie Park
  • IKEA Corp - Mallard Creek Greenway
  • McLeod Center and Ritz Carlton - Frazier Park
  • Spectrum Properties - Latta Park
  • Carolinas Health Care Information Services Department-Pearl and Baxter Street Park
  • Carolinas Health Care Corporate Community Relations-Liz Hair and Little Sugar Creek Greenway Metro
  • Touchstone Neighborhood Assocation - 4 Mile Greenway
  • UNC-Charlotte Cyclists - Toby Creek Greenway
  • Hands on Charlotte and Bank of America - Freedom Park
  • Trinity Episcopal School and Freedom School Partners - Alexander Street Park
With less staff due to budget cuts our parks still need the same amount of care to keep them clean and safe. Adoptees come out twice a week for unsupervised trash pickups and a once every other month for a supervised project. Adoptees are recognized with a plaque in the park and have the ability to work closely with park and recreation staff to maintain and beautify the park/greenway. Email Lori Saylor for more information.
