The Town of Apex's Adopt A Park / Trail (APAT) Program invites community members and organizations to take an active role in maintaining and enhancing local parks and trails through various volunteer activities. Participants can apply to adopt specific areas, helping to foster civic pride and community engagement while contributing to the beautification and safety of these public spaces.

The Town of Apex has established the Adopt A Park/Trail (APAT) Program to foster community involvement in maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of local parks and trails. This initiative invites citizens and organizations to "adopt" specific sections of parks or trails, where they can participate in activities such as litter removal, flower bed maintenance, and safety surfacing upkeep. The program aims to enhance civic pride and community engagement while ensuring that these public spaces remain welcoming and enjoyable for all. Spaces within the APAT Program are limited and tend to fill quickly, with renewals occurring each June for the subsequent adoption year. Interested groups are encouraged to submit applications for their preferred locations, even if they are currently unavailable. This approach allows them to be placed on a waitlist, granting priority for future adoptions as spaces become accessible. For further inquiries regarding the program, individuals can reach out to Ellison Lambert, the Volunteer Coordinator, via email or phone. The program not only contributes to the beautification of Apex but also strengthens community ties through shared responsibility for local public spaces.
