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.

If you are interested in learning more about the Bench Program, please fill out the inquiry form below or contact Caitlin Harpster at 724.327.7627.

Please note that the Bench Program is temporarily on hold. Feel free to fill out our inquiry form and review the bench packet. We anticipate the Bench Program will be active again in the spring of 2025.

PROGRAM UPDATES

As of July 2024, over 100 benches have been funded throughout your county park system.
