Funding Strategy

The South Park Parks and Recreation District is committed to enriching the quality of life for our residents and visitors by expanding our facilities to meet the growing demand for accessible, inclusive, and innovative recreation opportunities. To support this capital expansion, we are pursuing a diversified and sustainable funding strategy that does not rely on increasing local property taxes.

Our funding mission is to:

  • Leverage grant opportunities at the local, state, and federal levels
  • Engage philanthropic partners 
  • Secure private donations and sponsorships
  • Explore revenue-generating mechanisms
  • Maximize in-kind support through volunteer labor and donated materials
  • Pursue voter-approved bonding,  if aligned with long-term strategic goals and supported by a thorough community engagement process.

Our mission is clear: to responsibly fund a transformational recreation expansion that reflects the spirit and resilience of South Park—without placing additional financial strain on the people we serve!
