Join a “Friends of” Jackson Parks Group!

JAN’s Love Jackson Parks Committee's vision is for every city park to have a "Friends of" group. If you love your neighborhood park or want to help improve a park in the city, please consider joining or starting a group. The committee will maintain a database of active "Friends of" groups and will provide those groups support, guidance, and connection to other people and groups who love Jackson Parks!

Our parks need your help! Here’s what you can expect when you join a group:

  • Plan park cleanups

  • Coordinate events and projects

  • Engage the park’s surrounding neighborhoods and community

  • Apply for grant opportunities

  • Connect with non-profits

  • Partner with the city to improve parks

  • and MORE!
