Organizational Profile
Friends of Alafia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is the official CSO (Citizen Support Organization) for Alafia River State Park. Our organization was established by local outdoor enthusiasts in 2009 to protect, preserve, and support Alafia River State Park. Friends of Alafia's mission is to provide resource based recreational opportunities to the public.
In particular, we look out for the needs of mountain bikers, equestrians, and off-road runners or hikers that visit the park. We achieve this through funding construction or maintenance for the miles of biking, hiking, and equestrian trails. We also buy needed equipment, like the park's ATV and Res-Q trailer.
Purchasing lumber, rock, and tools used to construct and maintain trails.
Funding needed equipment, like the park's ATV, Res-Q trailer, & Club Car Carryall.
Building and maintaining structures for park guests such as the horse barn and paddocks.
Purchasing materials for equestrian fences, ties, and campsite amenity construction.
Funding for shop tools and materials needed to equip our volunteer workforce.
We fund picnic table and bench purchasing, and maintenance throughout the park.
