Adopt-A-Spot

What is Adopt-a-Spot?

Adopt-a-Spot is a beautification program sponsored by the Harrisonville Parks and Recreation Department. A “Spot” can be a trail, traffic circle, a park flower bed or any Spot that you are interested in beautifying. We prefer the spot to be on City property but will consider other locations. Maintenance of your Spot requires a commitment from you. Although we will provide plant materials, mulch, etc., the area will be planted and maintained by you. The benefits to you and others include the proud feeling of adopting a Spot, the beauty added to the area, the positive impact on our community and a personalized Spot recognition sign from Harrisonville Parks and Recreation.

Who May Adopt-A-Spot?

Anyone is invited to Adopt-A-Spot including individuals, families, youth groups, faith communities, school clubs and businesses. Some Spots may require more commitment than others, so choose your Spot and what you put in your Spot knowing your available time.

What will Harrisonville Parks and Recreation provide for the spot?

We want your experience to be a positive one and we constantly work to obtain resources for your benefit. Harrisonville Parks and Recreation will provide...Personalized sign posted in your adopted spot. Recognition on the Beautification section on the City website. Plant materials and mulch. Expert consulting from staff members.

What if I want to help but don't have time?

You might consider donations of funding, materials, or discounts on products or services that could be used in maintaining and beautifying Spots around Harrisonville.

What spot should I choose to adopt?
