Fred's Facts
Iroquois Park for Frederick Law Olmsted represented “a treasure of sylvan scenery” providing “the grandeur of the forest depths in the dim seclusion of which you may wander musingly for hours.”
Adoption Partners
“Volunteering is delightful to do. The environment and the camaraderie is invigorating. The end result keeps on giving.”
-Will Oldham, Bingham Park Neighbor
Adoption Group Highlight- Bingham Park
Neighbors around Bingham Park adopted their local Frederick Law Olmsted Park and can’t wait to see changes take place! They are currently working to weed out poison ivy and honeysuckle to make room for the planting and growing of less invasive plants. Their goal is to make the space as navigable, safe and beautiful as possible. Bingham park neighbor Will Oldham says working in Bingham Park has been a rewarding experience for him, “Bingham epitomizes the edict to act locally. It’s right there, ready to be repaired and restored.”
Adopt Your Local Frederick Law Olmsted Park
You can get involved and ”adopt” your favorite neighborhood Frederick Law Olmsted Park, or an area of your favorite park! Through the adoption program, groups help to remove invasive plants, plant native shrubs and maintain trails, mulch playgrounds and trees, paint park facilities, and remove unsightly litter. Adoption partners commit to come out to their adoption area just four to six times for a period of one year to help care for our treasured Frederick Law Olmsted Parks.
Call (502) 456-1623 or e-mail us for more information. We will meet with you to discuss a possible adoption in more detail and determine an appropriate place for you to adopt
