Midtown Parks, which focuses on investing in Fremont Park, Marshall Park, Sutter's Fort, Muir Park, Truitt Bark Park and Winn Park, was established in 2019 as the 501(c)(3) arm of the Midtown Association. Midtown Parks aims to support the well-being of the community by creating centrally located public spaces that provide opportunities for recreation, leisure, and to build relationships with neighbors. Parks and open spaces encourage active lifestyles and promote social interaction, which are essential components of enhancing physical and mental health. Based on hundreds of proven public-private partnership models throughout the country, Midtown Parks provides a path towards achieving these goals.

Increasing health and community engagement by investing in Midtown's parks and public spaces.
Unrestricted funding enables Midtown Parks to direct investments where it is needed most. Whether it goes towards capital improvements such as Sutter's Fort Lighting, art investments at Truitt Bark Park or to the free health, wellness and community programming offered at all six parks, your donation truly makes a difference.
Funding designated to a specific park, program or project enables Midtown Parks to provide robust experiences for both residents and visitors in our community. With the option to indicate where you want your donation to go, you can ensure that you are directly supporting what speaks to your heart. Do you have children and want to support kids’ programming at Fremont Park? Do you want to support opportunities for pet-friendly programming at Truitt Bark Park? Or perhaps you would like to focus on senior programming at Marshall Park? Let us know and we'll direct your donation there.
Midtown Parks actively seeks out partnerships and collaboration opportunities. One of our most successful collaborations has been around our annual wellness program, Fresh Air: Midtown Parks, which provides a variety of free health and wellness programming throughout the week across the parks of Midtown. Since its start at Fremont Park in 2019, this program has expanded to five parks in Midtown and has hosted over 13.2K attendees. This year we will once again be partnering with multiple local organizations, such as Yoga Moves Us, to bring these free fitness classes to the Midtown community in the months of May - September. Another sign of this commitment in 2024 was the opening of The Court at 18L, a collaboration with SKK Developments and Street FC, to bring the first hard-top soccer court to Midtown.
Additionally, since 2020, Midtown Parks has made investments in several park improvements including all-weather umbrellas at Truitt Bark Park, a basketball court revitalization at Muir Park and several art installations across multiple parks. We are looking to expand on these existing partnerships in 2025, and beyond, and hope to bring in more art-related activities, additional children's programming, landscaping improvements, increased lighting, and much more. We invite you to reach out if you have an idea and would like to discuss more ways we can help bring those goals to fruition.
