Parks Foundation

For more than 30 years, Parks Foundation has been a catalyst in pioneering and creating outdoor spaces in our city that we love and value. Under their guidance and care, a variety of park, school and sport projects are always under development. Communities often require a variety of support services to turn their project from dream into reality. Parks Foundation programs focus on helping communities and groups achieve their goals by promoting stewardship of new and valued community spaces and creating a healthy outcome for all.
