Friends engages our community in enhancing our city’s parks, trees, and green spaces through volunteerism, park activation, philanthropy, and urban forestry.
Every area of our work increases access to nature while empowering Grand Rapids residents to shape their green spaces.
Join us for community events, hands-on classes, ArborFest, and Neighborwoods — there’s always something happening to bring New Castle together.
Come on out to the Garage Bar and Grill for a street party, best bike contest and live music performance by Innuendo! This event helps support parks, trees, and trails in Grand Rapids.
