Get Involved
Parks Foundation
The Allegheny County Parks Foundation strengthens the health and vibrancy of the community by improving, conserving and restoring the nine Allegheny County Parks. Contact the Allegheny County Parks Foundation for information about volunteer opportunities.
Adopt-a-Park, a-Tree, a-Trail or Plant-a-Tree
By adopting a park or a trail, adoptees can help beautify the parks by volunteering for small improvements and litter clean-up. Adopting or planting a tree can be an excellent school project or done in memory of a friend or loved one. Contact us.
