“I envision a place ... where
the whole city will be a park”

Mission Statement – “Friends of San Clemente Foundation is dedicated to building a stronger community through its support of beaches, parks, recreation, cultural and educational activities.”

The Foundation was founded in 2000 as a vehicle to assist our City in meeting its parks, and recreational goals. We receive, invest and distribute funds, property and other resources to aid, sponsor, promote, advance and assist in the provision of public parks, beaches, recreation, cultural and educational services in and for the City of San Clemente.
