​We Activate The Power Of Parks
CLICK TO Learn more
Access to green spaces is a social determinant of health, but there are clear barriers to equity that must be addressed for our community to thrive. Through that lens, Friends invests in People and Places, centering community voice for the co-design of programs, projects and policies as the foundation for change.​ Whether co-design of a program or fiscal sponsorship of a park capital project, we are here to help YOU activate the power of our parks.
