Since 1999, the Kent County Parks Foundation has played an integral role in expanding and enhancing our Kent County Parks. We help raise money to help the Kent County Parks Department do three important things: 

1. Expand and enhance our existing parks by purchasing land and improving facilities

2.  Acquire land to build new parks.

3. Grow our regional trail system

The population of Kent County has tripled since our park system was created, yet we still depend on parks that were created almost 100 years ago to meet the needs of our growing community.  Not only do we have a shortage of park land for our current population, but we are falling further behind every day.

 Now is the time for us to reinvest in our parks and trails.

Your gift to the Kent County Parks Foundation is not only a gift to your parks, but a gift to everyone

who calls Kent County home - today and tomorrow.
