Mission: Supporting parks and recreation programs for everyone in Oakland.
The Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation is a registered non-profit that bridges the gap between the City of Oakland's offices of Parks and Recreation and Public Works to improve and expand parks and recreation centers across the city. Each project we undertake relies on collaboration between community groups, private businesses, and government agencies. We sponsor close to 100 local organizations, help them manage their money, and allow them to fundraise under our non-profit umbrella. Additionally, we bring together community volunteers, local organizations, public agencies, and businesses to maximize resources and create a stewardship network providing the civic support our parks need. We empower communities to help care for their parks and promote efficient use of resources through collaboration, assessing park conditions, advocating, and exploring possibilities.
