Celebrating a Milestone
R Park’s 10th Anniversary
This summer marks a milestone for R Park, the JHLT’s flagship community open space! Ten years ago, a committed group of locals celebrated its completed transformation from a gravel mine to a flourishing natural park. We’ll be celebrating all summer at events, and we’ve launched a fundraising campaign to keep R Park welcoming, safe, and full of life for the next 10 years and beyond!
All month long, your gift of any size will bolster our Community Conservation Fund as an investment in R Park’s ongoing programming and maintenance. R Park is forever, and the fund’s returns will ensure R Park remains a flourishing community hub for generations to come. Can we count you in?
What is R Park?
A Park for the People
As Teton County’s first nonprofit-run park, R Park is our community’s values in action. Open to all, what once was a gravel pit is now a place where kids can learn to fish, identify birds, or scramble along Mama Mimi’s outstretched legs. We host several events there each year, as do other community organizations, giving everyone a reason to love R Park. Thanks to a prime location along the community pathway and START bus line, R Park provides accessible connection to nature in the heart of the valley.
