No taxpayer dollars. Ever.

The Park was founded on the promise that it would be built and forever operated without any taxpayer dollars. We continue to operate without any government funding, relying instead on community support.

Please consider supporting the Park at whatever level is right for you. Even small gifts make a big difference.
