We make parks better.

What we do. What we Believe.

 

We strive to build community within in our parks:

  • Raise funds for park projects through individual and corporate giving, as well as grant requests.

  • Promote and activate beautification and conservation efforts.

  • Promote and support youth and family activities.

  • Acquire land for dedicated park space and natural areas through the donation of land or purchase.

  • Produce and host various fundraising and public events to benefit our park system.

Good parks, open space and inclusive amentities contribute to:

  • Economic Development - by fostering economic benefits and promoting tourism.

  • Environmental Health – by providing green infrastructure and help to manage climate change.

  • Social Well-being – by revitalizing communities, creating safer neighborhoods, helping children learn and grow, improving public and environmental health..

  • Cultural Understanding – by providing open space and program services that nurture a sense of place in the community, and provide opportunities for equitable engagement for all diverse backgrounds.
