Helping Communities Help Their Parks
Park Pride’s programs give communities the leadership, funding, planning and resources to help their parks thrive. It all starts with Friends of the Park.
It All Starts With Friends of the Park
Friends of the Park groups are the foundation of Park Pride’s community-led approach and the gateway to our programs. From there, groups can build leadership skills, plan for their park’s future, pursue funding, and access other resources as their needs evolve. Programs build on and connect to one another, giving communities ongoing support as they work toward their goals.
