Keeping River Oaks Beautiful

How to help

We are a small but mighty group and would welcome

any help. The Foundation is supported by neighbors like you who contribute funds, time and energy to support our mission of keeping River Oaks beautiful. Every year the Foundation puts on Party in the Park, a social gathering for all neighbors to gather and connect. Reach out if you'd like to join the committee or learn more about how to get involved! 

What needs help

The foundations proceeds are used for projects around the neighborhood such as planting new trees, enhancing parks and medians, and restoring structural features such as the fountain at Sleepy Hollow Park and Staub gates. Let us know if you have a request for a green space near your home, we would love your help identifying areas that need some attention.

projects include planting trees in parks, landscaping medians and enhancing original landscape features of the neighborhood.
