ADOPT-A-PARK PROGRAM AGREEMENT

Marion County’s Adopt-A-Park program is part of an effort to increase community involvement in preserving our county parks. The program is voluntary and is designed for organizations, businesses, and individuals. Each volunteer adopting group assumes responsibility for an assigned section of a county park and agrees to participate in park improvements a minimum of four times per year for a one year, renewable period. Marion County will work with the adopting group to select the specific section of park to be adopted. Some parks may not be considered due to safety concerns.

Any group or participant adopting a Marion County Park will be expected to:

Meet with the Parks Manager prior to participation in the program to:

Be instructed on the safety risks and park’s expectations of Marion County Adopt-A-Park participants.
Outline a program or schedule for participants.

All participants will sign the "Liability Release" prior to participating in this program.
Operate in a safe manner as described in "Adopt-A-Park Safety."
Notify the Parks Manager of unusual or suspicious activities or conditions.
Obtain permission from the Parks Manager before proceeding with any changes to parks, such as landscaping, facilities, etc.

Marion County will:

Provide each group with safety equipment such as vests, latex gloves, trash bags, flags to flag chemicals or other hazardous materials.
Provide materials such as wood chips, bark dust, paint, etc., depending on the park’s needs.
Provide proper signs if working on or near a roadway.

I have read and agree to follow the above guidelines for adopting a Marion County Park. I sign this agreement voluntarily.
