KWPB welcomes groups who wish to undertake adopting a spot of their choosing or ours. The spots include, but are not limited to mini parks and median strips. Responsibilities for these spots include weeding, planting, and/or trash removal. For quarterly efforts and a two-year commitment these groups receive city-wide publicity, and a plaque with their name marking their spot

Each year ten businesses are selected to receive our Annual Business Beautification Awards for their overall contribution to the beauty of the city. The honorees are recognized and receive plaques at the stage during the Old Fashion July 4th Celebration in Central Park.

Keep Winter Park Beautiful continues throughout the year to sponsor four different Ballroom Dance Lessons instructed by Stuart Nichols. All series cost $80 per person, both singles and couples are welcome, and no advanced reservations are necessary.

For eight consecutive Tuesdays at the Winter Park Farmers' Market, located at New York & Lyman Avenues, Beginners meet at 7 p.m. and Intermediates meet at 8:45 p.m. During each series the Beginners Lessons cover the waltz, cha-cha, swing, rhumba, and fox-trot, while the Intermediate dances will be determined at the first session.

For eight consecutive Thursdays at the Lake Island Center, located at 450 Harper Street (the west boundary of the Civic Center and behind the Burger King), Advanced I Lessons meet at 7 p.m. and the Advanced II Lessons meet at 8:15 p.m. Dances will be determined at their first sessions.

We do encourage all to come the first evening of the series at least 20 minutes early so paperwork and payment can be completed, allowing full advantage of the first lesson.

Please call 407-599-3334 for further information.

For the last several years we have partnered with the Neighborhood Associations supplying them with bags, cleaning materials, and prizes to encourage their efforts within the individual neighborhoods. We celebrate Earth Day by painting houses, painting our Central Park Benches and trash can holders, our planting projects, our educational materials for schools, and public awareness projects. Churches and other groups are contacted and encouraged to let us know how we may assist them with supplies for other group efforts. A sampling of the groups that have partnered with us in the past include: The United Methodist Church Preschool Program, Housing Authority, the Afterschool Program at the Winter Park Community Center, AKA Sorority and Grant Memorial Chapel. In 2000 we inaugurated our "City for Sale" Garage Sale Program, a recycling portion of the Great American Cleanup.
