Clean. Safe. Green.
A beautiful park takes everyday care.
We bring neighbors, volunteers, and supporters together to care for Chastain Park and help it thrive.
The Chastain Park Conservancy is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the stewardship of Troy Chastain Memorial Park’s natural and historic resources. Our mission is to restore, enhance, maintain, and preserve the park so every walk, workout, playdate, performance, and quiet moment outdoors is enjoyable, safe, and memorable.
Clean.
Everyday care makes a difference. Our team and volunteers help keep the park clean and welcoming through litter removal, maintenance, and hands-on stewardship projects.
Gilbane volunteers gave back by spreading mulch, removing invasive plants, and adding native plants around the playground. See their day in the park.
Safe.
We care for the trails, paths, and gathering places that connect our community. Clearing brush and debris and maintaining shared spaces helps neighbors enjoy their time in the park.
Delta Air Lines volunteers spent a day in the Northwoods maintaining trails and caring for the landscape. Meet the volunteers.
Green.
We restore natural areas, plant and care for trees, remove invasive plants, and support native landscapes. Together, we help keep Chastain Park healthy for people and wildlife.
BMO volunteers cleared invasive plants and spread fresh mulch around the playground, helping keep this much-loved space healthy and beautiful. See BMO in action.
Community care. Real impact.
From everyday park visits to neighbors growing and giving back together, our purpose comes to life through the people who love this park.

A park cared for by its community.
Park Partners, individuals, volunteers, family foundations, and local businesses make this work possible. Every hour shared and every gift helps us care for a place where people connect with nature and one another.
“It’s such a joy to see repeat volunteers!”
