The Columbus Park Foundation supports Columbus Parks and Recreation’s programs, parks, facilities, trails, and playgrounds to build a more vibrant and welcoming community. The Columbus Park Foundation can’t do this without YOU! Your donations and sponsorships in 2024 helped:
- Keep our programs, like Come Out and Play, free and low-cost to our community
- Provide over $27,000 scholarship dollars through the Chuck Wilt Youth Scholarship Program
- Create welcoming spaces for our community and visitors like NexusPark
Thank you to all our donors for supporting the Columbus Park Foundation and our community!
