David StubbsCreating Natural Community Connections
Astoria Park Conservancy is excited to bring special programming to the Hot Springs and Park with a goal of providing educational and immersive experiences connected to learning, wellness, conservation and equity & inclusion, for the benefit of the entire community.
Astoria Access Fund
Part of our mission is dedicated to offering an accessible and affordable refuge for all residents to create connections within our space. Through our Access Fund we seek to break down barriers of entry that Teton County residents are facing in experiencing Astoria. This program largely utilizes partnerships with local organizations, holding exclusive and free events at Astoria for selected partners and their constituents.
To sustain engagement and create lasting relationships between community members, Astoria Park Conservancy will work with our partners to distribute free and subsidized hot springs passes to community members who would otherwise face financial barriers in receiving the health, wellness, and social benefits of our mineral soaking pools.
Partners include Jackson Hole Voices, Camina Conmigos, Coombs Outdoors, Teton Youth and Family Services, Teton Adaptive Sports, and LGBTQ+ community members.
Uplift your community by supporting this initiative today.
