Friends of Jackson and Manitoba Parks

Friends of Jackson and Manitoba Parks, founded in 2025, is to empower local residents and resources to enhance Manitoba and Jackson Parks’ inclusive and sustainable spaces, ensuring they remain vibrant and accessible for generations.

We are celebrating our one-year anniversary in November, 2026. Our projects and programs include conservation of the park, working with Manitoba School's students, and offering a monthly family book hike. We are also leading a project to work with the community on a plan for Manitoba Park, refurbishing the Jackson Park Picnic Shelter and developing a community activities center to meet the needs of the Jackson Park neighbors.
