Home MenuAdopt a Park or Trail
Are you tired of seeing litter in your favorite local park or along your neighborhood trail? You can make a direct impact! Join our community of volunteers who help keep West Des Moines clean and beautiful.
How It Works
The Parks and Recreation Department provides supplies like trash bags and planning support. Once your group officially adopts a location, we install a sign to recognize your contribution.
