Organizations and groups connected to parks, programs, facilities, or support.
22% of mapped park locations.
Operating, maintaining, programming, or stewarding public-serving assets.
Unverified amounts are withheld. Full costs, periods and non-overlapping contributions need confirmation.
History and recovery
416 profiles have their earliest recorded reference from 2018 forward. Dates may reflect founding, agreements or other explicitly dated records; they do not establish growth or current activity.
District story
District 4 has matched partnership records for 28% of properties; District 1 has records for 11%. These are Atlas coverage figures, not measures of need or current agreement activity. Properties without a district assignment are excluded from this comparison.
