The mission of the Friends of Lake Johnson is to preserve the natural environmental assets of Lake Johnson Park. In support of this mission, we work to assist the Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department in assuring the cleanliness of the lake and its surrounding lands, we contribute financially to assist plantings and other resources such as park benches. In addition, we assist in educating the public about the natural environment at the park. Most importantly, we are advocates for the public and the community to the City of Raleigh on issues that impact the park lands or its natural resources. We also advocate for appropriate investments to keep the Park true to its origins as Lake Johnson Nature Park.


We encourage you to get involved in helping us protect and maintain the beauty of Lake Johnson Park. If you have time to contribute to our beautiful park, email us to find out where and how you can help. You may also make a tax-deductible donation.
