The Tower Grove Park Society is a select group of donors who provide substantial annual gifts to support the ongoing operations and programs of Tower Grove Park in order to maintain the Park in a proper condition of excellence.  In doing so, Society members perpetuate the Park's unique character and leave a legacy for future generations.  Society members enjoy special status as key partners in the progress of the Park, and are eligible for special privileges and benefits.

From 1988 to 2004, Tower Grove Park has undertaken a long range, strenuous, and successful effort to restore and revitalize its remarkable and outstanding capital assets, including pavilions, the Music Stand, entrances, statuary, conservatories, stable buildings, trees, roads, paths, bridges, and other features.  Thanks to the generosity of many supporters, this effort has achieved significant success.  The results have been striking, and the benefits for St. Louis substantial and very apparent.

It is time to protect and perpetuate the investments made by many donors through proper operation of the Park and ongoing careful stewardship of its restored assets.  This can be accomplished in part by means of a revitalizing stream of financial support provided by committed annual donors of substantial gifts.
