How to Support Your Local Parks For National Parks and Recreation Month, there are many different ways you can help support the beautiful parks in your area: Donate Donating is a great way to help your area’s parks. Monetary donations can help update park facilities, playgrounds or even improve landscaping. All of these will benefit your park for years to come. Volunteer If you notice that your favorite park or others in your area are in need of trash clean up or even basic landscape grooming, offer your time to help! It’s a great way to get physically active and improve the quality of your community spaces. Visit Regularly Possibly the best way to support your local parks is by visiting them on a regular basis. This helps demonstrate that the park is necessary and enjoyed by the community, often helping garner future funding and attention from local government.
