Our Mission
The Anchorage Park Foundation is a community-based nonprofit that mobilizes public support and financial resources for improving Anchorage parks, trails, and recreation opportunities.
Why Our Work Matters
Anchorage parks and trails connect us to nature, support healthy communities, and give people places to gather, play, and explore. Anchorage Park Foundation brings community members, local government, and private resources together to expand access to these opportunities and strengthen our community.
Our work:
- Connects youth to nature through outdoor education and hands-on experiences in neighborhood parks.
- Creates opportunities for teens through Youth Employment in Parks, a conservation corps that provides job experience while caring for public lands.
- Makes parks more welcoming and accessible for people of all ages, abilities, and cultures.
- Builds connections through trails that make it easier and safer to explore Anchorage.
