Adopt-A-Park/Trail Programs - Parks
Adopt-A-Park & Adopt-A-Trail Programs Are you or an organization you are involved with looking for a way to give back to the community? Help us maintain our beautiful parks and trails by sponsoring our Adopt-A-Park or Adopt-A-Trail Program.
Adopt-A-Park The City of Laramie & the Parks, Tree & Recreation Advisory Board have an Adopt-A-Park program that provides for an agreement with individuals, companies, service groups or organizations to assist with the maintenance and development of our park system. Similar to the Adopt-A-Trail program, sponsorships are for two years and the sponsor receives a sign indicating their involvement with our program. This program is administered by the Parks & Recreation Department and encourages citizens to get involved in the care and development of our parks. For more information please call (307) 721-5267. Bench & Tree Memorials Memorialize the memory of your loved one with a tree or bench placed in a park or along a trail. A plaque may be placed by memorials or donations if desired by the donor. The Parks & Recreation Department accepts donations of trees, shrubs and park benches for beautification and enhancement of our parks and trails. Prior to planting or installation, staff and the Parks, Tree & Recreation Advisory Board must approve the donation and the location. The donor may plant the tree or shrub they have donated with the assistance of staff members. All trees, benches and memorial plaques purchased by the City are invoiced at wholesale cost to the donor.
Adopt-A-Trail With the adoption of the Bicycle Trail Master Plan in 1999 the City of Laramie has developed the Laramie River Greenbelt, the Cirrus Sky Trail and the Jacoby Ridge Rural Trail. Trails are important for the health of our community, as well as an integral part of our economic vitality. From walking, running, biking, skateboard and roller blading; people, young and old, utilize our varied and vibrant trail system. The City of Laramie & the Parks, Tree and Recreation Advisory Board have opened 1/4 mile sections of our trail system for adoption by individuals, companies, service groups or organizations. Adopt-A-Trail program sponsorships are for two years and the sponsor receives a sign indicating their involvement with our program. This program is administered by the Parks & Recreation Department and encourages citizens to get involved in the care of our trails. For more information please call (307) 721-5267.
