Adopt-A-Spot

Have you noticed an increase in litter around your local park or trail?

Tukwila Parks and Recreation needs your help to keep open spaces clean and green! Consider adopting a spot by committing to pitching in to pick up litter in your favorite parks.

Adopt-A-Spot is a year around partnership between Tukwila Parks and Recreation and residents, community groups, and businesses to help beautify Tukwila’s parks and trails.

Becoming an Adopt-A-Spot Park Steward is easy!

1. Identify the park or section of the Green River Trail that you would like to adopt.
2. Complete the Adopt-A-Spot online form.
3. Meet with Parks and Recreation staff for a quick training, and you are now a Park Steward!

What does a cleanup look like?

Once you have adopted a spot, participated in a quick training, and received supplies, then your project can begin.

• Volunteers can set their own schedules for cleaning up.
• Cleanups can be as casual as a weekly stroll through the park. The work is focused on litter however depending on the volunteer light landscaping or restoration is an option.
• All collected litter can be put in the trash cans onsite or in a designated area.
• There is a short data collection for the work but otherwise, it is that simple to make a difference.

Tukwila Parks and Recreation will provide:

• Gloves, trash pickers, and bags
• Signage posted onsite thanking you, your business, or your group.

Volunteer commitment:

• Safety during cleanups
• Four cleanups a year
• One-year (or longer) commitment
• Complete a short report after each cleanup
