"The mission of the Evansville Parks Foundation is to support and provide for facilities, improvements, and programs for parks and recreation in the Evansville area, improving the quality of life for all its citizens."

The Evansville Parks Foundation, Inc. is a private, 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization committed to improving, protecting, and revitalizing Evansville's treasured parks, open spaces and recreational facilities for the citizens of Evansville as well as visitors to our beautiful city.  In accomplishing its mission, the Evansville Parks Foundation works in coordination with the municipal Department of Parks and Recreation to identify selected projects for improvement

Recognizing that a municipal budget can only provide for a basic level of maintenance and services, the Evansville Parks Foundation is able to generate funds for park improvements through its own fundraisers, grants, and charitable donations from families, neighborhood groups, and local businesses partners.
