A 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001 to create a better future for the historic San Diego River and the people of San Diego and its visitors. We are championing the creation of a river-long system of parks, community places and pathways. We seek to bring together a diverse and broad group of individuals, businesses, and groups to accomplish this vision and to empower members of the community to get involved which changing their community's future. Imagine a river park system which provides healthy recreation opportunities, promotes stewardship of nature, and smart communities. The San Diego River Park Foundation has 11 employees and is based in Mission Valley. We invite those interested to contact us to learn more about the vision of the River Park system, our award winning volunteer and education programs and our projects, from our Land Conservation Initiatives and the Discovery Center at Grant Park which is scheduled to open late 2015.
