The mission of the River Trails Park and Recreation Foundation is to secure and provide financial resources for recreational programs, parks and facilities that enhance the quality of life and promote a healthy well-being for residents of the River Trails Park District, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit.

Our Goal:

The River Trails Park District strives to provide our participants with safe, fun and economical recreational opportunities. Through a variety of programs, events, facilities and open spaces, individuals and families can enhance their lives through our offerings.

The River Trails Park and Recreation Foundation was developed solely to assist the River Trails Park District through grants for scholarships for those facing financial hardship, specific projects, equipment, infrastructure, development and programming.
