The purpose of this program is to solicit participation by civic, church, and other community organization to assume beautification tasks for parks in the City of Goldsboro. The City would recognize participating groups by making and erecting signs bearing the names and logos in the adopted park.
Each of the 11 different parks in Goldsboro have different characteristics and maintenance needs. Some parks such as Herman Park with the Park House and the Lady in the Park pond and playground, may need more attention. Others with more natural settings may need less. Also, depending on the size, some parks may need more than one group to adopt it. Groups that adopt a park decide what tasks they would like to do, but must furnish their own tools and equipment to accomplish tasks such as raking, weeding, pruning, mulching, edging and removing trash.
The "Pride in the Parks" program will be a way for community groups and organizations to build community spirit and pride, as well as provide needed service to make Goldsboro a more beautiful place to live.
