ESTABLISHED: 1995
MISSION: As the official philanthropic partner of Cincinnati Parks since 1995, Cincinnati Parks Foundation is here to help everyone do more in our parks. We build relationships that lead to partnerships, advocacy, and donations to support and enhance our city’s parks and greenspaces.
Through fundraising, volunteerism, projects, and programming, we’re here to help make our parks more vibrant, more welcoming and accessible, and more sustainable. Our work helps our parks, our neighbors, and our city thrive.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY:
Our current initiatives include:
• Coordination of free roller skating programs as we fundraise to revitalize the Sawyer Point Riverfront Rink.
• Collaboration with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Luke5Adventures, and University of Cincinnati’s Osher Center for Integrative Health to provide accessible wellness programming.
• Support of conservation efforts through obLITTERators, our volunteer litter removal initiative and tree planting to help grow our urban tree canopy.
• Reinvigoration of parks like Glenway, Seasongood, and Ault in partnership with neighboring communities.
• Activation of our parks with events and classes to bring more visitors into our parks.
• Installation of new trees and benches in parks to honor donor memories and milestones.
