⛳ Calling all golfers and park supporters!

Mark your calendars for our Golf Outing on Friday, August 28, at Beechwood Golf Course. It’s a great way to enjoy the course, support a great cause and give back to the parks and programs that serve our community year‑round.

Whether you’re golfing, sponsoring or spreading the word, your support helps make a difference right here in La Porte. 💚

🌳 A milestone worth sharing 🌳

Thanks to the support of our community, the our 2026 Annual Campaign has reached 50 percent of its goal and it’s only May!

These funds help support park improvements and enhancements across the city, strengthening the parks and spaces used by residents of all ages.

We’re grateful for the continued partnership and community support that makes this progress possible.

🌎 Happy Earth Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the importance of caring for our parks, our environment and the community spaces that bring us together. Events like our Earth Day Family 5K remind us how powerful it can be when our community and local partners come together in support of a healthier, greener La Porte.

We’re thankful for the sponsors featured here whose support helps make this event — and so many parks and programs — possible. Your investment in our parks helps create opportunities for families to get outside, stay active, and enjoy nature close to home.

Thank you for supporting our parks today and every day. 💚

La Porte's parks and amenities give the community so much: a place to play, walk, explore, gather and make memories that last. Our Annual Campaign helps make sure those moments keep happening.

If our parks have ever been part of your favorite summer day at the beach, a child's first trip down a slide or a serene lap around a trail with a good friend, we’d be grateful for your support. Your gift, in any amount, helps us keep improving the parks you love.

Give today at https://lpparkfoundation.networkforgood.com.

Thank you for helping us provide great parks for every generation!
