Through memberships, tax deductible donations and fundraisers Friends has provided enough support to help build beautiful parks, make improvements and expand recreational activities. Since 2000, Friends has committed over $550,000 of grants…and we’re just getting started! Below are some of the examples of the impact all of our “Friends” have made:
- Funneled the memorial donations received on behalf of Steven Malin, Jr. to create Malin Field.
- Renovations and expansion of the Recreation Center.
- Sailboats for #1 rated Lake Forest Sailing Program.

- Grant for Kinderhaven Teacher professional development.

- Matthew Parsky Memorial Garden in (Deerpath Park).
- Sponsorship of the Junior Olympic Sailing Regatta.
- Kreisher Memorial Batting Cage (Deerpath Park)

Our results are reflected in the parks we maintain, the programs we provide and the children we teach. Join us in our continuing Gold Medal quest.
