Giving Activity

Mission

It's the mission of the Denton Parks Foundation to engage the Denton community to enhance the mission of the Denton Parks and Rec Department to UNITE, GROW and PLAY.

Denton resident's lives are enriched by our city's outstanding parks system that includes 44 parks and trails, 27 playgrounds, 25 bridges, 23 pavilions, dozens of sports facilities, 5 recreation centers and gyms and too many classes to count. While the Denton Parks Foundation collaborates with the Denton Parks and Recreation Department, the Foundation is a separate 501(c)3 organization and has no direct affiliation with the City of Denton and is governed by its own board of directors.

Needs

Individual Donations & Corporate Sponsorships: Every financial contribution sustains our ability to offer Denton residents equitable access to parks, while also providing financial assistance to low-income families accessing the many fun and safe recreational activities offered through the City's Parks and Recreation Department.

We welcome donations, corporate sponsorships, bequests from individual estates, and in-kind donations.
