Happy Valley Parks & Recreation Foundation is committed to providing an inclusive experience for everyone. Financial needs-based scholarship assistance is available to qualifying individuals for many recreation programs. Our goal is to remove financial barriers for Happy Valley residents with limited financial resources.
