PARC Foundation Projects

In collaboration with other community groups,

the PARC Foundation acts as a catalyst to

accomplish short and long range projects that

benefit the community.

	Douglas Family Preserve: The community raised funds to purchase this 71-acre property on the bluffs above Arroyo Burro Beach and donated it to the City in 1997. PARC manages the Preserve’s endowment and has raised additional funds for this open space park.

	Harriet Miller Youth Fund: Former Santa Barbara Mayor Harriet Miller created this fund in 2001 to benefit the Santa Barbara Youth Council and its many projects. PARC manages and disburses the funds.

	Skater’s Point: PARC worked with the City and community members to build this extremely popular 14,600 square foot skateboard and in-line facility along the waterfront in Chase Palm Park in 2000.

	Kid’s World: This 8,000 square foot playground in Alameda Park was conceived and built by the community and is frequented by thousands of children each year. PARC provided the funding vehicle and continues to hold money for playground improvements.
