More than 2,400 community park development projects including ball fields, playgrounds, pools, picnic areas, and recreation centers have been made possible by Keystone Fund grants.

The Keystone Fund has helped to preserve more than 117,000 acres of green space for county and municipal parks, greenways, wildlife habitat, and open space uses.

The Keystone Fund was created in 1993 with overwhelming support in the Pennsylvania legislature. In November 1993, 67% of Pennsylvanians voted to supplement the Keystone Fund’s permanent funding stream with $50 million in bond revenues.

The Keystone Fund helps communities help themselves — a great deal for state government. Each dollar of Keystone Fund investment typically leverages $3.13 in direct local investments in our parks, trails, community green spaces, and libraries.
