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. Over the years The Park People has assisted in the formation of over thirty groups.

The Park People Annual Friends Group Meeting

The meeting took place thursday April 4th, at the Mitchell Park Domes. Friends Groups networked with each other while sharing up-coming events, Group plans, and learned valuable information from guest speakers.
