Adopt A Park Program
Our parks are at the center of our communities. They are places for celebrations and recreation. With Adopt A Park, we are providing funding to support the revitalization of overgrown, underdeveloped, or abandoned parks, along with local and regional landmarks. This includes assistance for gathering spaces, seating and tables that utilize reclaimed or sustainable materials.
We want to preserve and sustain these important centers of community pride, and we look forward to doing it together.
We are collaborating with our state, city and local municipalities in the park adoption program. Parks covered by the following can be adopted:
- local pocket parks
- town parks
- village parks
- city parks
- county parks.
Funding will focus on beautifying and revitalizing parks and green spaces, which may include a National Grid-branded bench, picnic table and/or gazebo to create a safe and inviting space for the community to gather outdoors.
We support:
- grants for parks
- tree planting grants
- park development grants
- grants for nature conservation
- grants for small town parks
- park improvement grants
- community green space grants.
We encourage applications from community-driven and public organizations that are working to improve parks and natural green spaces. Those that qualify for an Adopt A Park grant are:
