ABOUT DENTON PARKS FOUNDATION
Founded in 1987, we have been improving Denton’s parks ever since.
Who we are
Denton Parks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity exempt from Federal tax and a non-profit corporation chartered in the State of Texas (tax id #75-2275201).
Our Mission
To engage the Denton community to enhance the mission of the Denton Parks & Recreation Department to unite, grow and play.
Our Vision
To unite people over parks and play through investments, advocacy, and volunteerism resulting in accessibility and a quality life for all residents.
Our Belief
When a community unites, parks get better.
Denton residents’ lives are enriched by our city’s outstanding parks system.
For more than three decades we have collaborated with the City of Denton, corporations, foundations, and individuals alike. Together, we work to meet the needs and expectations of our community. As a result, we help fill the gap that exists when our park’s needs surpass the tax dollars available.
