Adopt-a-park

There are 11 city parks and 4 county parks in Shoreview. These parks are a critical component of Shoreview’s great quality of life! The new adopt-a-park program is a great opportunity to get involved in your community and help keep parks clean and safe.  Volunteers are asked to pick up litter and report problems at their park from May-October.
