Bench Program
-
Benches provide a peaceful place to relax and remember your loved one, while also providing a peaceful place for others in the community to enjoy the atmosphere of our parks. There are 2 styles of benches to choose from.
Please read through our
Bench Donation Policy before making a determination about the type of bench you would like to donate.Information:
You can donate a bench to one of the City’s many parks. Choose an un-dedicated park bench to donate, or donate a bench in a new location. We need to review and approve the location. Once approved, we will install a plaque on the bench to recognize your donation.
On your donation application, make sure to include what you want your plaque to say.
Keep in mind:
- You can’t use the plaque as a memorial marker (we don’t allow birth or death dates)
- You can’t put a logo on the plaque
- We will have to approve your message before creating the plaque
