Park Rangers, Playground Supervisors and other staff and volunteers working in parks will also help with monitoring cleanliness. Citizens can help monitor as well. The Park Maintenance staff will be notified and the area will be cleaned. Parks will be as clean as they are now. We will use the most cost effective means to keep that commitment.
Out message is accepted.
Also, if lack of cans affects public health or safety, cans will be added back immediately. Adopt a Park is a program that invites citizens to volunteer as individuals or groups to help keep a particular park clean. It already does. Portland Parks has more than 3000 citizens as volunteers to supplement services and programs in parks, gardens and recreational programs, from formal Friends Groups such as Friends of Hoyt Arboretum, Friends of Leach Botanical Garden, Friends of Ladd's Addition and Friends of Forest Park to the 3rd grade class that regularly cleans Lincoln Park, the Lents Habitat Restoration Project that adopted parts of the Springwater Corridor to clean and the neighbors at Arbor Lodge Park, not to mention a new group forming to clean an off-leash dog area. Portland's parks have a reputation of being some of the cleanest and most beautiful in the nation.
