Honoring a loved one or celebrating a special occasion with a commemorative park bench plaque is a beautiful and lasting gesture. The process is designed to be straightforward and meaningful. First, you'll need to contact our Parks and Recreation Department directly, either through our website or by phone, to express your interest and check the availability of bench donation programs in your preferred park. Not all parks may have available benches, so this initial step is crucial.
Once availability is confirmed, you will receive a donation form and details about the associated costs. The donation typically covers the price of the new bench itself, its long-term maintenance, and the creation and installation of your personalized plaque. After your donation is processed, you will work with our team to finalize the inscription for your plaque. We have specific guidelines for the text, including character limits, to ensure a consistent and respectful appearance across all our park benches.
The final step involves the fabrication and installation. Our dedicated parks staff will arrange for the bench to be installed in its designated location. They will then securely attach your custom-engraved plaque. The entire process, from initial inquiry to installation, may take several weeks to ensure everything is done with care and precision. This tribute will serve as a peaceful spot for reflection for you and the entire community for years to come.
