Polk City Friends of the Parks is a volunteer-based 501c3 non-profit. Our mission is to enhance, grow, and promote Polk City’s parks, trails, and greenspaces for the benefit of the entire community.
The Polk City Friends of the Parks is a 501c-3 non-profit that is comprised of twelve board members. Our mission is to make Polk City a place everyone can enjoy, by fundraising money to enhance and grow Polk City's parks, trails, and greenspaces.
Parks, trails and greenspaces continue to see a dramatic increase in use. These spaces improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our community and boost home equity.
Your property taxes are split into many entities. 27% of your taxes go toward our City, and 3% of that is dedicated to Parks and Recreation. Your additional donations are tax-deductible and help us enhance the parks outside of the City's budget.
Join our mailing list to stay in touch with everything we are working on! There are events to attend and opportunities to volunteer. Your donations go directly to enhancing, growing and sustaining Polk City's parks, trails and greenspaces!
