About the Foundation

Thousands of Bowling Green residents enjoy our community parks and recreation centers every year, as well as the many activities and programs designed to serve their interests. In response to the growing desire for more beautiful parks and additional recreation programs, the charitable nonprofit Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Foundation was established in 1992.

Through memberships, tax-deductible donations, wine and cheese social and auction, and other events, the Foundation provides additional financial support for the recreational, environmental, and educational programs and projects of the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department. Accomplishments include:

Spearheading the purchase of 7.5 acres of land adjacent to the BordnerMeadow that was developed into the Twyman Trail.
Placing new interpretive signs and throughout the Nature Preserve and developing handouts for the visitng public.
Purchasing interior lighting and carpeting for the Nature Center; software for financial record keeping.
Outfitting the Nature Room and Window on Wildlife.
Hosting the Foundation Spring Breakfast and the Annual Member Picnic/Concert at City Park.
Purchaing the wonderufl BBQ grill for Foundation and Department use.
Purchasing the youth Start Smart football equipment and the Holiday Parade giveaways.
Obtaining and tuning donated pianos for park buildings.
Financially supporting the successful BG Parks and Recreation levy.
Financing the Simpson Garden Park Feasibility Study and providing start-up money for various active committees.
Allocated funds toward facility improvements, program supplies and equipment, concerts in the parks, and a host of other programming and park facility needs.

With your help, everything you loved as a child - baseball on hot summer days, running barefoot through the park, playing basketball or even learning to dance - is assured to be available to all of us.

Simply put, providing the kinds of parks, recreation facilities, and programs that the people of Bowling Green want the most often costs more than the city can afford. This is why the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Foundation needs your help.

Your dollars go towards enhancing these open spaces, facilities and programs - and, in turn, help build a stronger community. Member benefits include a spring breakfast, summer picnic and concert, and other activities throughout the year. HELP SUPPORT YOUR PARKS.
