The San Francisco Parks Alliance is a non-profit environmental organization based in San Francisco, California that contributes to the green movement by supporting and advocating for urban parks. In 2011 the Neighborhood Parks Council and San Francisco Parks Trust merged to form the San Francisco Parks Alliance.

The Mission of the San Francisco Parks Alliance is to inspire and promote civic engagement and philanthropy to protect, sustain, and enrich the parks, recreation and open green spaces.

The Parks Alliance is dedicated to fulfill a vision of parks that acknowledges and supports their critical environmental functions while striving to ensure that they are accessible, beautiful, safe, clean, and fun and managed in a manner that makes them accountable, open, and welcoming to all.

The San Francisco Parks Alliance’s goal is to ensure that stewardship, philanthropy, and policy are coordinated and leveraged for the best possible outcome for parks and park users. Through coalition-driven advocacy, the new organization, based on some of the best practices of both organizations and those around the country, can better ensure that the needs of parks and all park users are equitably met.
