PARTNERSHIPS

There are two different ways to be a DPR park partner:

  • Friends of Parks

Are 501c3 non-profit organizations who wish to support the park through fundraising and advocacy efforts. Friends can also host community events and fundraisers in the park as well as clean-up and beautification efforts.

  • Adopt a Park Partners

Adopt-a-Park Partners are individuals, groups or organizations that want to help care for a park through regular clean up days to remove litter and debris and weed and mulch landscape features. Some Adopt-a-Park Partners also improve the park with new ornamental plantings that they care for. In all instances, Park Partners must gain approval from DPR before making any physical improvements or changes to the site. Events require permits, although partners with signed agreements get the permit fees waived.
