    Who’s your daddy, Gateway Park? This orphan park is surrounded by Commercial, Granite and Canal streets, and looking for a volunteer caretaker.

    Gateway Park is a little plot of land on a high-traffic area begging to be adopted by a business or individual looking to “have their work seen by thousands of motorists a day.”

    It’s just one of 23 sites currently available for “adoption” from a list of 40 sites around the Queen City (click here for the complete list) in need of volunteer upkeep.

    The City of Manchester, NH developed Adopt-A-Site to encourage local businesses, landscaping professionals and volunteers to assist with the beautification of City land.Adopt a Park Program.

    The opportunities for adoption range from volunteering at your neighborhood park to developing a landscaped traffic median. Parameters are different, depending on what level of effort and commitment you’re up for:
