The City of El Cerrito encourages residents, community organizations, and businesses to become directly involved in improving our city through the Adopt-A-Place Program.
The City recognizes the contributions of the adopting groups and individuals by making and erecting signs bearing their names and logos, if feasible.
The goal of the Adopt-A-Place Program is to have El Cerrito parks and landscaped public areas adopted by a wide range of community organizations, neighborhood groups, and individuals.
Adopting a place can take many forms, from establishing a presence in a particular area to be on the look out for vandalism; maintenance assistance in the form of general clean-up like litter removal, painting, weeding, and/or minor planting (e.g., flowers, replacement shrubbery) and providing input to the City on citywide necessities.
