SPONSORSHIPS - One way to give back to your community is through sponsorships for programs or projects at your favorite county park. There are a variety of ways you or your organization can sponsor projects or programs. Current sponsorships include underwriting the expenses for children's swim lessons or recreational swimming, providing the means for our facilities to receive donations of goods and materials, or to assist in organizing your group or organization to support a specific County Park project. Sponsorships can be as little or as large as you care to make them.

GIFTING - One of the easiest ways to give back to the community is through gifts to Parks. Gifting can take the form of cash, but usually means the outright purchase of specific materials or equipment from a provided list. Your gift goes directly to a selected location where it is needed within a park facility. Some examples include benches, bike racks, equipment, building materials, trees and shrubs, or other landscaping materials.

TREE PLANTING PROGRAM - The Tree Planting Program is offered through the San Luis Obispo Parks, Open Space and Trails (SLOPOST) organization. SLOPOST is a 501-C3 non-profit organization. You can have a tree planted in a County Park to celebrate an event, to honor someone special, and to contribute to your park habitat. Typically, a 15-gallon tree costs about $75.00. Following your contribution, park staff handles all other arrangements.

At this time, we cannot accept pine species due to the spread of Pine Pitch Canker disease in the region. Other tree species may be accepted depending on the park and its location in the County. Call (805) 781-5200 for more information.
