Recreation & Parks Foundation

The Pasadena Recreation & Parks Foundation, established over 40 years ago, aims to
raise awareness and provide support to the City’s parks and recreation programs.

The Pasadena Recreation and Parks Foundation's mission is to support the City in
keeping its open spaces green and usable; to enhance City's recreation programs
including partnering with youth agencies that have similar goals so they enrich the
lives of Pasadena area residents; and to ensure that the parks inspire a vision of a
healthy city.

Some of the past contributions of the Foundation include park benches in San Rafael
Park, Dodger Night for Pasadena Youth, Earth Day, and Rose Bowl Aquatics Center
Scholarships. The Foundation is a recognized fiscal receiver and accepts donations
/ grants to support recreation programs. Applications for scholarships and program
assistance are available.
For more information or to make a donation, please call (626) 823-8800 or visit us at
