ABOUT
Friends of Parks and Recreation as a newly formed 501(c)(3) commits to furthering the programs and goals of Winchester-Clark County Parks and Recreation, especially when it comes to youth and children's programming. Friends of Parks immediately got to work using our community’s valued donations for this goal and we haven’t stopped since- we are not the "sit on your money" type! We are committed to the fact that healthy, happy children build healthy, happy communities.
