Friends of the Park

If you are looking for a Friends of the Park Group to join look no further! We are very passionate about our parks here in DeKalb County and are actively working to improve all of them. The Friends of the Park group is the strongest voice for the protection, preservation, expansion and improvement to the DeKalb County's 6,770 acres of parks and playgrounds. Your membership to Friends of the Parks will help support our neighborhood parks and playground projects, environmental education, advocacy and volunteer programs throughout the DeKalb County.  Many of  our Friends of the Park groups are established throughout the county, which have completed numerous beautification projects and assisted in the success of countless special events.

Benefits of Becoming a Friends of the Park Group
Officially forming a Friends of the Park group will have many intangible benefits, such as giving neighbors an opportunity to meet and interact and creating a single unified voice for the park. However, there are also many tangible benefits that a Friends group can take advantage of once registered with Park Pride including access to:

• Park Pride Grants
• Fiscal Partners Program
• Park Toolshed
• Organized volunteer workdays with Park Pride’s Volunteer Manager
• and more!

Becoming a member of an existing “Friends” group or starting your own “Friends” group is a great first step to improving your neighborhood park! Should you have any questions please contact dekalbparks@dekalbcountyga.gov
