Cascade Playground activation and events are sponsored by a Parks Department grant managed by the YMCA. A Friends of Cascade Committee made up of neighbors, small business owners, non-profits, and community leaders meets monthly to reach consensus.
All programming is free to the public, and encourages access to the outdoors and community engagement through free activities, with a focus on increased access to art, music, culture, youth and family activities, health and fitness, sustainability and community building.
