Volunteers in Parks

Help keep Delta parks beautiful by helping with a variety of tasks:

• Opening and closing park gates. Gates opened at dawn and closed at dusk allow greater use of parks while minimizing vandalism and neighbourhood disruption. Groups of volunteers, usually neighbours, work out a schedule to share the workload.
• Park clean ups. Events organized by community members keep parks clean and tidy. Many of these events are held once or twice a year in spring and/or fall
• Park care. Regular visits by those willing to make a larger commitment maintain Delta parks at a higher level than is otherwise possible. Volunteer tasks vary and may include pulling weeds, painting play equipment, picking up litter, sweeping pathways and keeping playgrounds clean and tidy.
• Park patrols. Volunteers who take daily walks through parks spot and report problems and maintenance items to ensure the safety and cleanliness of neighbourhood parks

All Parks volunteers receive an orientation to ensure safety.
