Park CommUNITY Fund
The Park CommUNITY Fund will advance park equity in Seattle through a community-led funding process by:
- Expanding Inclusive access to clean and safe parks that foster healthy people, thriving environments, and vibrant communities.
- Closing gaps in access to quality parks and park facilities that disproportionately affect frontline communities.
- Centering efforts in partnership and transparency with communities to build ongoing trust, relationships, and investment.
