ADOPT-THE-LAKE
Tempe Town Lake Adopt-The-Lake Tempe businesses and residents can help keep Tempe Town Lake beautiful by joining the Adopt-The-Lake program. Anyone who can pick up trash, wield a pool skimmer, or polish a sign with Windex is welcome to take part in this effort.

Individuals can decide what kind of help they would like to provide—whether it is weeding or clearing trails or skimming Town Lake. Businesses or large groups may adopt any of 26 sections of Tempe Town Lake for quarterly clean-up events. Their efforts will be rewarded with the opportunity to paint trash cans with environmental messages and their group/company name on them. For a list of adopted sections, click here.
