Great parks are the mark of a great city.

Parks improve our physical and mental health, reduce pollution and crime, and bring people together to build more resilient, socially connected communities. 

But not every San Diegan has access to a quality park. The San Diego Parks Foundation works every day to change that.

The San Diego Parks Foundation is committed to creating safer, healthier, and thriving parks for all! 

  • Programs

    Activating Public Spaces

    Public spaces need people. We create and invest in programs where San Diegans play, from parks to plazas to recreation centers. Our initiatives give people the opportunity to experience the healing power of the outdoors and breathe new life into public spaces that have been underutilized or forgotten for too long.

  • Projects

    Investing and Beautifying Park Facilities

    Every San Diegan deserves access to a beautiful, functional, and convenient park. We raise money to improve facilities and infrastructure in San Diego’s most neglected neighborhood-serving parks.

  • Public Policy

    Advancing Systems-Level Change

    We partner with community groups and other nonprofit organizations to advocate for public policies that advance the goal of every San Diegan having access to a quality park and recreational opportunities in their community.
