I am happy you have chosen to visit the Alabama State Parks Foundation website. But the Foundation is not simply a website. It is a community of people who love Alabama’s marvelous parks.

 Our parks dot the landscape of Alabama Beautiful. From the seashores of the Gulf to the verdant hills of Appalachia, the parks welcome people to their diverse natural settings. For generations, families have gathered for reunions, hikers tramped our enchanted woodlands, fishermen relaxed on glistening lakes, and people of all ages enjoyed healthy and recreational experiences in our lovely parks.  

 In January 2018, a group of people from throughout Alabama formed the Alabama State Parks Foundation. The Foundation will be a community of people dedicated to the Parks. I invite you to be one of those people who love our Alabama Parks.

 To celebrate the birth of the Alabama State Parks Foundation, you can join others in becoming a “First Friend and Founding Member” of the Foundation. Open the tab on this website and let us know of your interest. Join a great park movement of people who support one of our State’s precious treasures --- Alabama State Parks.  

Sincerely, 

Dan L. Hendricks, President

Alabama State Parks Foundation
