"Mental wellness is among the most important parts of overall body health as it impacts the physical well-being. Taking part in leisure and recreation activities can make it easy to manage stress thus reducing depression. Spending time as a family doing leisure activities is also important to children since it models healthier ways of handling stress and emotions."

The Palo Alto Recreation Foundation (PARF) supports the City of Palo Alto Recreation Division, and other local nonprofits, by creating, sponsoring, and funding various recreation programs and special events for Palo Alto residents, visitors, and surrounding neighborhoods. Such community activities promote social interaction, cultural appreciation, and overall well-being, by creating memories and upholding traditions for generations to come.
PARF was founded in 1986, in response to declining City funds being allocated to support community events. PARF's founders did not want to lose precious traditions in Palo Alto, such as the May Fete Children's Parade. PARF began raising funds to keep local traditions alive, as well as create additional recreational programs and social connections, in and around Palo Alto. PARF was, and still is today, dedicated to sustaining and enhancing the extraordinary quality of life in Palo Alto.
As a nonprofit, PARF depends on donations from residents, sponsorships from local companies, and grants to make these programs a reality. The foundation is a 501c3 (our tax identification number is 77-0187810). Please consider making a donation today.

“Life without play is a grinding, mechanical existence organized around doing the things necessary for survival. Play is the stick that stirs the drink. It is the basis of all art, games, books, sports, movies, fashion, fun, and wonder—in short, the basis of what we think of as civilization. Play is the vital essence of life. It is what makes life lively.”
