Park lovers welcome in ParkCare program
Council is calling on local nature lovers to join the ranks of its trial ParkCare program.
The ‘adopt-a-park’ initiative is open to anyone keen to contribute to Logan’s green spaces.
All ages and abilities are welcome.
Program volunteers assist Council’s parks staff by conducting quality checks, supporting educational campaigns, helping with maintenance or planting, and encouraging community use.
Participants are also using the City of Logan app to log issues including the dumping of rubbish, graffiti, broken glass, faulty play equipment and damage to trees.
The data has already led to improvements in their nominated parks.
Residents can apply to be a ParkCare volunteer at Park Volunteers
