BECOME A CORPORATE SPONSOR

Our Mission

“To encourage private or public donations of land or money for the acquisition, development, and enhancement of accessible parks and recreation facilities in and around Mount Vernon, to support park-related projects, and to administer charitable contributions for local programs.”

Three Decades of Success

Mount Vernon Parks Foundation was founded in 1986 by Ralph and Vera Rothrock. Thanks to their efforts, Bakerview Park was created soon after that and has been enjoyed by thousands of users every year since then.

Since then, MVPF has provided the means to help parks-related interests flourish, including the Mount Vernon Arts Commission, the Adopt-a-Trail Program, Movies In The Park, Scholarships For Kids, an Off-Leash Dog Park, Playground Equipment, and more.

Now, more than thirty years after its beginning, MVPF’s primary focus has shifted from creating new parks to connecting and enhancing the park spaces and programs Mount Vernon already has.
