Friends of Georgetown Parks & Recreation Will you help us make a difference?

The MISSION of the “Friends of Georgetown Parks & Recreation” is to support the City of Georgetown Parks & Recreation Department in providing programs and facilities to promote the social, cultural and recreational well-being of all residents of the City of Georgetown.

We have the following avenues to help us accomplish this goal: *Build a volunteer base to enhance the success of the many recreation and parks activities and projects. *Raise funds through tax-deductible memberships, donations and other activities to provide opportunities such as camp scholarships, swim lessons, tennis lessons and recreation center memberships for those who would benefit but cannot financially participate in these health, fitness and wellness related activities. *Apply for grants and raise funds to assist with capital projects that are warranted within the Parks & Recreation Department. *Promote and support the Parks & Recreation Department activities and projects through public awareness.

Forestry Memorial Tree & Bench

Are you looking for a special way to mark the birth of a child, grandchild or celebrate a special birthday? Having trouble finding a unique wedding or anniversary gift? Looking for a way to memorialize loved ones who have passed away? Donating a memorial tree or bench to the City of Georgetown Parks and Recreation Department is the perfect way to commemorate all these occasions. There are few other gifts that will be as long lasting as a tree. A tree will immortalize your personal occasion, and a bench will give you and your family a place to go to remember. Either of these gifts will give back to your community in ways no other gift can. Memorial trees and benches will provide for a more enjoyable recreation experience for the citizens and visitors of Georgetown for many years to come. For more information about this program, please call Urban Forester, Heather Brewer McFarling, at (512) 930-6113 or e-mail heather.brewer@georgetown.org.
