Parks Foundation Calgary

Parks matter to Calgarians. They are cherished places where we play, connect with each other and immerse ourselves in nature. Parks development is vital to the creation of healthy, innovative and liveable cities. Ongoing support is required to build and improve Calgary’s treasured parks and school playgrounds, as public funding only takes us so far.

For more than 30 years, in collaboration with our cherished donors and partners, Parks Foundation has been a catalyst in pioneering and creating outdoor spaces in our city that we love and value.

Please consider making a donation. Your support will help us create new parks, improve existing park space and offer important community programs and grants to Calgarians. When our parks thrive, we all benefit, and our city becomes a healthier, more vibrant place to live, connect and succeed.

At Parks Foundation, we create parks though partnerships, connecting donors and partners with relevant and innovative park and sport projects. Among many signature parks, programs and green spaces, our largest project to date is the Rotary/Mattamy Greenway, a 138km pathway system that encircles Calgary, connecting almost half of our city’s population. Under our guidance and care, a variety of park, school and sport projects are always under development.

Communities often require a variety of support services to turn their project from dream into reality. Our programs focus on helping communities and groups achieve their goals, by promoting stewardship of new and valued community spaces and creating a healthy outcome for all.
