The City of Arcata is dedicated to maintaining and providing safe and beautiful parks within the community. The Adopt-a-Park Program is designed to bring community members together with the City to enhance the overall quality, safety and beauty of parks in Arcata. There are over 25 locations where parks or park space exists in the City. Due to limited resources, City staff is often restricted in what they can do at each facility. But, working together, through the Adopt-a Park Program, we can capitalize on the energy, expertise and time available to enhance the already great parks and playgrounds in Arcata.
