605 Esther St,
Vancouver, WA 98660

Advance registration is required. Esther Short Park Cleanup RSVP.

Join members of the City of Vancouver’s volunteer Adopt-A-Park program and the Vancouver Downtown Association to take care of Esther Short Park! This is a new volunteer orientated effort to bring the community together for litter cleanups and beautification projects of Esther Short Park and the surrounding area to help keep the neighborhood welcoming, clean, and vibrant.

Training, gloves, tools, water, and snacks will be provided. This opportunity is family-friendly and great for teens. Volunteers should dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Youth under 18 must bring a signed minor consent form.

Accessibility is important to us and we’ve taken it into account while planning this event. The park is wheelchair accessible, but some of the volunteer projects may not be. Work is primarily done in a quiet park with potential for some infrequent loud work sounds. Volunteers will need to do some light lifting and bending while picking up litter. There will be a space in the RSVP form for you to let us know if there are any accessibility needs you have so that we can do our best to find a volunteer role that will work for you.

Registration will close 24 hours prior to the event. If registration is closed and you are still interested in attending, please email cityvolunteer@cityofvancouver.us to let us know you will be a walk-up and you can sign in on-site.
