About
Custom Tab
It is the intention of the Plano Parks Foundation to work alongside the Plano Parks and Recreation Department and the Plano Parks and Recreation Planning Board to be the bridge that connects people to parks and cultivates a growing sense of community.
Through the years, the PPF has donated hundreds of trees to the City of Plano and thousands of dollars to enhance our parks and open spaces. It is through your donations and support that these activities have been made possible.
Mission
The Plano Parks Foundation was organized in 1983 as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to promote and enhance the parks and open spaces of the City of Plano by supporting the Parks and Recreation department:
• Building community awareness and stewardship of the parks in Plano
