Enriching our park, enhancing our community
The Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation is a non-profit organization which tasked themselves with enhancing the beauty and experience of Lakes Park. The Foundation continues to make efforts that grow its membership, volunteerism and donations.
Current Projects
Currently, the Foundation is working to raise funds that support the following enhancements to Lakes Park:

- CHILDREN’S GARDEN – planned additions include a human sundial and other educational opportunities.
- LAKES PARK SUMMER CAMP – funding of programs and equipment to enhance the Summer Camp experience.
Throughout the year, the Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation hosts community events designed to raise awareness and funds to support enhancements to Lakes Park.
