In 1978, it became apparent that municipal funding for Eagle Creek Park would not be sufficient in order for the remarkable natural resource to meet its full potential. That’s when members of a watchdog group called the Eagle Creek Park Advisory Committee recognized the need for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to help raise money for unfunded park projects and formed the Eagle Creek Park Foundation. Ever since, the Foundation has been on a mission to promote, preserve, protect, and enhance Eagle Creek Park. With community support, we can provide financial and volunteer resources above and beyond limited city funding to support essential park projects and programs that otherwise would not exist.
