State Parks Benefits

The Oregon State Parks Foundation is the only statewide non-profit partner of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department dedicated to raising funds that will enhance and preserve the experience of using the 255 Oregon State Parks, now and for generations to come. Since 1995, the Foundation has supported many vital projects such as restoring Vista House at Crown Point, helping to renovate five Oregon Lighthouses, preserving the Kam Wah Chung & Co Museum, and putting the first yurts in State Parks anywhere in the country.

The Oregon State Parks Foundation strives to enrich the Oregon State Park visitor experience through increased environment education, access, and healthy activities in Oregon’s State Parks.
