San Diego Parks Foundation
City of San Diego
Champion of the Community


The San Diego Parks Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to working to ensure inclusive and equitable access to the parks and recreation facilities and services in the city of San Diego. The Foundation is comprised of park advocates that share a mission to improve the quality of life through equitable investments in parks, greenspace, and recreational opportunities.  Their vision is for every San Diegan to have access to quality recreational facilities as part of a safe, healthy, resilient, and thriving community. Through their philanthropic efforts, this group secures funds from private and public supporters to address the city's funding gaps in recreation programming and maintenance of neighborhood parks as well as implement park improvement projects. This support helps foster community health and connection by providing opportunities for exercise, spending time in nature, social interaction, and accessing resources.
