Established in 2018, the mission of the nonprofit San Diego Parks Foundation is to improve quality-of-life in communities throughout the City of San Diego through equitable investments in parks, greenspace, and recreational opportunities. The Foundation provides critical support to the City of San Diego’s Parks and Recreation Department by securing funds from private and public supporters to address Department funding gaps in programming and maintenance of neighborhood parks and to implement projects directly.

The San Diego Parks Foundation, the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego, and Price Philanthropies will announce the 3rd annual Parks after Dark summer program, an eight-week series of free outdoor community celebrations where families can spend warm summer nights every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at five City of San Diego parks: City Heights, Linda Vista, Memorial, and Skyline Hills from June 20 through August 17, and Silver Wing from June 20 to July 27.
Parks After Dark provides families in San Diego with free outdoor fun through health and fitness activities, music, movies, arts and crafts, games, youth sports clinics, tournaments, resources from non-profit organizations, and free food for children.
