Our Liaison to Your Neighborhood

The Park People assists interested individuals in the creation of Friends Groups for their neighborhood parks. We provide direction, capacity building strategies and resources for these individuals and work as a liaison between their group and the Parks Department. Ultimately, these groups work to promote and enhance their parks through volunteer efforts, fund raising, and events.

Raise money for your Friends group at the gala!

Your group has an opportunity to raise funds at The Park People Gala on Saturday, November 12, 2022! Simply provide a silent auction item and host a table to promote your group. Your group keeps the majority of proceeds to use for projects at your park. Purchasing Gala dinner tickets is not required.
