Park Stewardship

About Our Park Stewardship Program

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation (CCPR) connects the community with nature by managing and maintaining over 550 acres of park land. Throughout Carmel, you will find 15 parks and 4 greenways offering greenspace, playgrounds, access to natural resources, and education through interpretive signage. We are dedicated to ensuring our community understands their role in our natural resources both today and in the future.

Join the Cause

Park Stewardship gives the community an opportunity to play a larger part in developing our natural resources and better understand our parks. Through Park Stewardship programming, events and volunteering, the community is invited to get out to the park to explore, engage and connect by planting trees, identifying species at a BioBlitz event and so much more.

Gain hands-on experience and knowledge with a variety of environmental restoration projects including invasive plant removal, trail restoration, and litter cleanup as well as park improvement projects such as playground mulching, refinishing park benches, branch cleanup, and many more.
