The bipartisan Mayors for Parks Coalition brings together mayors from across the country united by a shared understanding: parks are vital infrastructure that strengthen communities and drive economic growth.
Since 2013, the Coalition has secured historic federal funding victories and continues advocating for increased investment in urban parks nationwide.
Chaired by Mayor Mattie Parker (R) of Fort Worth, TX, the coalition includes mayors from cities of all sizes across the country.
The Mayors for Parks coalition advocates for increased federal funding for our nation’s city parks.
The Coalition supports increased funding for the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program (ORLP), a program within LWCF that delivers funding to urban areas with priority given to projects located in economically disadvantaged areas and lacking in outdoor recreation opportunities.
