Parks shape more than just places

They Shape communities

The Rock Hill Parks Foundation supports the city’s Parks, Recreation & Tourism Department by investing in the parks, programs, and people that make Rock Hill a place worth calling home. Today and for generations to come.

Parks. People. Purpose.

Everything we do can be traced back to three things: the parks that shape our community, the people who make it what it is, and the purpose that drives us to invest in both. The Rock Hill Parks Foundation has been showing up for Rock Hill since 2004, and we’re just getting started.

Who We Are

We are a nonprofit dedicated to expanding what is possible for Rock Hill's parks, programs, and people. We don't replace city funding. We go further. Every dollar we raise goes directly back into PRT’s green spaces, facilities, and programs that serve this community every single day.

Everything we do traces back to this.

A landscaped park with brick stairs, black metal railings, walking paths, green trees, and two American flags flying on poles against a cloudy sky.

A gift toward our green spaces is a gift that will directly impact the community where you live and the parks you visit. Today and for generations to come.

Grow Green Spaces

Together, we can empower the youth of Rock Hill by providing safe places for sports, activities, and programs that build character right alongside skills.

Strengthen Future Leaders

Everyone deserves to enjoy all that Rock Hill's parks offer. Your donation helps make sure that inclusiveness and access are never an afterthought.

Change Lives

FISCAL ‘26

Over $1.2 million has been poured into Rock Hill's parks, programs, and facilities since 2018. Last year alone, the Foundation raised over $130,000 and directed nearly $260,000 right back into the community.
