About Austin Parks Foundation
Our Mission: Austin Parks Foundation is committed to providing the resources and partnerships that create and sustain beautiful and active parks.
We seek to fill the gap between what needs to be done and what our parks department can afford to do. Since 1992, Austin Parks Foundation has initiated, promoted, and facilitated physical improvements, new programming, and greater community involvement for Austin's parks. Each year, Austin Parks Foundation generates millions of dollars in volunteer time, in-kind donations, and financial support for city parks.
Read our Parks Blog - we post reports of volunteer workdays, park visits and more.
