A primary benefit of society membership is keeping informed about the park through newsletters and email updates. Your membership provides us with a stronger voice in advocating for the Park. Members are not required to volunteer.
The Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society has been advocating for and working in Mount Douglas Park since 1990. Grants support some of the activities we are involved with. Becoming a member or donating helps support creek and native plant restoration, newsletter and brochure production and distribution, and more.
