Western Gateway Recreation & Park District, is a state Special District, yet it does not receive any funding from the State of California or County of Nevada. The District’s revenue is generated through rental activity at Western Gateway Park and a annual parcel fee of $12.94 approved by District voters. Since approval the purchasing power of this fee has decreased to $7.08 which makes balancing the budget a challenge, and leaves little remaining funds for major maintenance and capital improvements so essential to the ongoing health and beauty of Western Gateway Park.

When you collaborate with the Foundation – either through a monetary donation, becoming a Foundation member, or participating in one of the Foundation’s fundraising opportunities – you are contributing to the Foundation’s mission while also ensuring that the Western Gateway Recreation & Park District continues to thrive and that Western Gateway Park remains The Jewel of Penn Valley and a recreational asset to Nevada County.
