A Public-Private Alliance
The Dallas Parks Foundation was chartered in 2003 as a private, non-profit corporation to be governed by volunteers and funded by the generous contributions of donors including individuals, families, neighborhoods, businesses, foundations, corporations and public sector partners.
The Dallas Parks Foundation is dedicated to preserving, protecting, promoting and enhancing existing Dallas parks while making a lasting contribution to the city of Dallas and its park system.
Mission Statement:
The Dallas Parks Foundation was organized in 2004 as a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization with a mission to achieve a premier citywide system of parks that is sustainable throughout the 21st century by (1) securing and administering private funds to enhance and maintain parks throughout Dallas, (2) promoting increased public funding for the Dallas park system as a whole, and (3) increasing community stewardship of all parks in Dallas.
Great cities are known for their grand public places and great parks. It is the intention of the Dallas Parks Foundation to work alongside the Dallas Park and Recreation Department and the Dallas Park Board to recover the quality and prestige of the Dallas parks system, regain the confidence and enthusiasm of our citizens and reposition Dallas Parks once again as a recognized state and national leader.
