Friends of City Park is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to raise funds for capital improvement projects to maintain City Park as a place of natural beauty, rest and renewal for the community.
Annually, City Park must raise over 89% of its operating budget which leaves little to no resources for park capital improvements. Friends of City Park is vital and important to the Park’s growth. Over the years, Friends has given millions of dollars to City Park for capital improvements.
Friends of City Park sustains its efforts from its robust membership program that offers benefits to Friends’ members. The three major fundraisers are Lark in the Park, our premier fundraiser; Martini Madness, our wildly popular martini tasting; and Ghosts in the Oaks, our spooktacular family bazaar!
The efforts of Friends of City Park sparked a catalyst for change and improvement and started a rebirth of City Park.
Membership to Friends of City Park grants you various different Perks throughout New Orleans City Park, including free admission to the Botanical Garden, Storyland, Amusement Park, and Celebration in the Oaks.
