Participate in Your Park

As a non-profit, friend-raising and fund-raising are important parts of what we do – but they are also FUN! We invite you to participate by attending our annual gala, taking one of our park tours, or choosing the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool for your wedding ceremony.

By participating in one of these activities, you help our mission! When you book your wedding ceremony with us, the proceeds aid in our on-going maintenance of the Lily Pool. When you join us on a park tour, you’ll find a greater appreciation for Lincoln Park and, hopefully, we’ll have made a new friend. When you attend our annual gala, you raise critical funds that support our operations and programs.
