Founded in 1971, San Francisco Parks Trust (formally Friends of Recreation and Parks) is a nonprofit organization committed to protecting and enhancing San Francisco's parks.

From Golden Gate Park to more than 200 neighborhood parks, open spaces, and recreation programs, we have raised millions of dollars to ensure a bright future for over 4,000 acres of parkland throughout the City. Funds generated by our membership, community and corporate foundations, and individual contributions directly benefit our City's 205 parks and squares, 200 playgrounds, 81 recreation centers, four stadiums, six golf courses, and a camp in the Sierras.

We also sponsor vital recreational and educational programs for children, with a special emphasis on at-risk and disadvantaged children.
