PARTNERSHIPS FOR PARKS - IT'S MY PARK

it's my park

Beautify a neighborhood green space through It’s My Park (IMP)! IMP is our signature volunteer program engaging tens of thousands of volunteers each year in hands-on beautification projects throughout our city’s neighborhood parks. It is both a resource for community partners and a service for nonprofit and corporate groups to revitalize local green spaces through cleaning, painting, and gardening.

We strive to create an equitable park system by focusing on parks that need extra love.
