Oregon Parks Forever

The Oregon State Parks Foundation strives to connect people with their parks. We work to enrich the visitor experience through interpretation and education; to ensure access to outdoor recreation that promotes an active and healthy lifestyle; and to create the next generation of park stewards. 

Since 1995, the Oregon State Parks Foundation has provided almost $9 million to preserve and enhance the natural and historic wonders found in Oregon State Parks. Our generous donors have helped to restore Vista House at Crown Point, establish Kam Wah Chung Museum in John Day, maintain historic Oregon Coast lighthouses, add state park amenities including yurts and bike shelters, and give Oregon children and families their first camping experience. 

State parks are part of what makes Oregon a special place. We need your support to ensure that Oregon state parks remain strong for all residents and visitors to enjoy — today and well into the future.
