Forever Balboa park is a private nonprofit organization supporting Balboa Park for all, in partnership with the City of San Diego.

Forever Balboa Park is a public-benefit 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to provide expertise, advocacy and resources to envision, enhance and sustain Balboa Park for all visitors in partnership with the City of San Diego and in collaboration with other organizations in the Park and the community. Since its formation, Forever Balboa Park has worked with the City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department and other partners to plant trees, reactivate and turn the Plaza de Panama into one of San Diego’s primary public gathering spots, and host the annual December Nights holiday festival, among other projects. Forever Balboa Park is data-driven, completing a much needed Tree Inventory, and Economic Benefit Study and a Cultural Landscape Report. Forever Balboa Park is working to restore and revitalize the 100-year-old Botanical Building and gardens.
