About us
Our mission to preserve Portland’s parks
Portland’s parks are the heart of our community—places where memories are made, connections are formed, and nature thrives. From the trails we hike to the fields we play on, these spaces reflect our coastal city's beauty and spirit. By preserving and supporting them, we ensure that future generations of Mainers continue to experience the joy, serenity, and sense of belonging our parks provide.
