Partners for Parks is a volunteer-driven nonprofit supported by a dedicated Executive Director and engaged Board of Directors. Our members play an active role on the Executive Board and committees, helping to advocate for, fund, and advance projects that strengthen and grow our park system. There are many ways to get involved. Some opportunities are ongoing, while others are single-day events. Whether you have a specific skill to share or simply want to lend a hand, we would love to find the right fit for you.
