Our Program

Adopt-a-Spot

Preserving and beautifying our community.

The Adopt-A-Spot program is open to anyone in Escambia County. This program inspires community stewardship, is morally uplifting and creates a great social or team-building opportunity!

How to Adopt Your Spot

Choose almost any spot in Escambia County to adopt as your own. For a complete list of all available parks, please email here.

*All spots are subject to approval by Our Corner, Escambia County, and/or the City of Pensacola.

1. Apply for a Spot

What place is special to you? The most popular choices are parks, scenic stretches of road, or neighborhood green spaces.

2. Attend Training

Attend our Adopt-A-Spot Orientation for a full overview of the program and its requirements.

3. Clean Your Spot

Get started cleaning your adopted spot and reporting cleanup information to Our Corner!

“Our organization was able to further our community outreach through the Adopt-A-Spot program. Coordinating equipment pick-up and drop-offs is always a breeze. Our Corner provides all the tools and equipment you could possibly need. If your organization or business would like to get involved with an Our Corner program, I highly recommend Adopt-A-Spot.”
