Enhancing Palo Alto parks and open spaces since 2003

Dedicated to fostering
greater public awareness
and appreciation of our treasured assets 

 

Friends of the Palo Alto Parks works with the city of Palo Alto, private groups, other nonprofits, and citizen organizations to preserve, maintain, and beautify our parks and open spaces.

Working with the city and the community, we have enriched our parks through many achievements. 

Successes run the gamut — from funding a bench to developing a playground to creating a special all-accessible park within a park. 

Have an idea for a project at a park you would like to pursue?

 

Let us hear from you. Contact us and/or the city to see what the various possibilities may be. 

 

“In every thriving park, you can see the
heart of a community. The Friends of
Palo Alto Parks remind us what is possible
when passion meets purpose.”

— Sarah Robustelli, City of Palo Alto Division Manager for Open Space, Parks and Golf
