Adopt a Park Program
with Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department
A Volunteer-Based Program
- The Corpus Christi Parks & Recreation Department is seeking community volunteers and corporate partners to participate in its Adopt-a-Park program.
-
-
Our Department maintains over 190 parks that provide open space and recreation areas and facilities from Padre Island to Five Points. While our capable staff works diligently to care for the vast park system, we also depend on volunteers to help our efforts to keep our parks beautiful and safe for the enjoyment of our residents and visitors.
-
-
Whether you are an army of one or 100, we have ample opportunities for you and your organization to contribute to the well being and enhancement of our park system. The Adopt-a-Park program allows small businesses, community groups and civic-minded individuals to dedicate their time, talents and treasures to the maintenance and development of Corpus Christi’s unique park system.
-
-
The program is flexible to suit your and your organization’s capacity to contribute. From regularly scheduled clean ups to building play equipment to planting trees and other landscape enhancements, there is truly something or some place for everyone to pitch in and help.
-
-
The Adopt-a-Park program is a meaningful way for businesses, groups and volunteers to showcase their commitment to the community. In effort to herald this pledge and promote further adoptions, the Department will provide a sign at each adopted park acknowledging a group’s contribution and commitment.
-
-
The first step towards adopting a park is completing a copy of the attached application. If you’re uncertain about the area or park you would like to adopt click here to review a list of parks and the amenities offered at each park. Once you have selected a park and completed the application, submit a copy to Becky Perrin, Program Services Superintendent, at beckyp@cctexas.com, and the process towards adopting a park will begin thereafter.
-
-
Our park system, and the people who enjoy it, are vital components of Corpus Christi. We hope you will join our efforts to build a vibrant community through volunteers and parks.

Seeing as how Texas has the most potential for solar power in the country it’s time we tapped into that, bringing billions of dollars in business to the state, creating thousands of new jobs and helping to bring clear, blue skies to back to Texas. We currently produce only as much solar energy as Wisconsin!
We're bringing together local businesses, elected officials, academic institutions, and community organizations from across Texas to call for increased solar power generation. The first step is calling on Governor Perry and the PUC to actually implement the standards we already have in place.

Citgo Cleans up I-37 entrance to Corpus Christi!
The Parks and Recreation Department has been working with
CITGO and Councilman Elizondo to upgrade and bring color to the medians
at IH 37 and Chapparal/Mesquite Streets. CITGO is purchasing plant and
landscaping material, as well as coordinating volunteers to participate
in the initial installation at the medians and follow up with
maintenance/upkeep workdays periodically over the next several years.
In
effort to bring awareness to the partnership (and perhaps spur other
companies to follow suit), CITGO unveiled a project sign
during their first workday on Saturday, October 24 at 9:00 am. Thanks Citgo!
