Since the early 1990's Donald Park has developed through public & private partnerships. The Delma Donald Woodburn family donated 105 acres that, with the purchase of the Hitchcock farm, formed the core of the park. More than 700 acres of parkland now exist. In 2000, The Friends of Donald Park, Inc formed as a non-profit organization to work with Dane County Parks to promote park development. The park officially opened to the public in 2002. Donald Park is now a bright star in the Dane County Parks system. As more farms and open spaces give way to urban development, Donald Park preserves the culture and natural heritage of this region.
Mission Statement
The Friends of Donald Park, Inc promotes and supports the development and passive use of Donald Park through programs and activities that provide education, restoration and preservation of cultural, natural and historical resources representing Dane County's rural heritage for present and future generations. The Friends of Donald Park, Inc currently has over 200 members, including a nine member board, each of whom volunteer their time as well.
