OVERVIEW

A meaningful way to improve your parks with a lasting impact is to donate a bench. Donors can choose to honor a friend of family member, celebrate a special occasion, or express gratitude. Benches can also be donated by a large group of individuals making smaller contributions to make up the total cost of the bench together.

There are three models of comfortable, well-designed and durable benches that are available to choose from. The Parks Foundation staff works with you to choose a location for the bench.
