Our mission is to maintain and restore horticulture in the four historic parks of Oak Cliff,
to provide educational and social activities that promote the love of gardening, to advocate for conservation and a greater appreciation of the environment,
and to back public policies that support our goals.
Here you will find a wealth of information about the history of the parks in our area as well as our volunteer activities supporting the restoration of the horticulture
and the protection of the WPA architecture within our five historic parks.
Please check our calendar for information about our weekly activities supporting this mission.
We hope you will graciously consider becoming a valued member of the Friends of Oak Cliff Parks.
Thank you for visiting!
The Friends of Oak Cliff Parks Garden Club (FOCP) was organized in 2002
by David Klempin and Nola Rae Smith, with the support of John Jenkins, Regional Manager of the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department, for the purpose of restoring horticulture in and preserving the historic parks of Oak Cliff.
We strive to reflect in our projects the objectives of both parent organizations.
The Friends of Oak Cliff Parks is happy to announce that we have been selected as a recipient of the Buffalo Exchange Tokens for Bags® program from July through December 2024. You can now donate to Friends of Oak Cliff Parks just by shopping at Buffalo Exchange located at 3424 Greenville Ave. Instead of a plastic bag, the Tokens for Bags® program offers every customer who makes a purchase one “token” valued at five cents (the cost to produce a bag) to donate to one of several local charities selected by the store. The program has generated over $962,840 for hundreds of local nonprofit organizations since 1994 and has saved over 19.25 million plastic bags from the landfill.

About Tokens for Bags®
Through the Tokens for Bags® program, shoppers are offered a token in place of a bag, which they can donate to one of three local charities. For each token, they donate five cents to that charity. The Friends of Oak Cliff Parks is now one of three local charities that will receive support until the end of this year.
