Fundraising

Jack London Park Partners receives no funds from State Parks to subsidize the management and operation of the park, depending entirely on volunteers, private donations, park fees, and revenue from events hosted there to execute programming, maintain the grounds and administer operations. Events hosted there include guided nature hikes, bird watching, and Broadway Under the Stars, a series of summer musical events that are often reserved far in advance and bring in much of the year's revenue. They host many private events as well, including weddings, parties, and picnics.
