Thank you so much for reaching out with such a meaningful question. It's a beautiful way to create a lasting tribute, and we are honored that you are considering one of our park benches for this purpose.
Yes, it is absolutely possible to add a memorial plaque to a bench in many of our parks through our official Bench Dedication Program. This program allows individuals and families to commemorate a loved one, celebrate a special occasion, or simply contribute to the beauty and comfort of our community spaces.
Here’s how the process typically works:
First, please contact our Parks and Recreation Department directly. You can find the contact information on our official city website. They manage all requests and can provide you with the most current application form, available bench locations, and the associated donation fee. This fee helps cover the cost of the plaque, its installation, and the long-term maintenance of the bench.
You will be able to discuss options for plaque wording, usually with a character limit to ensure clarity. Our team will guide you through selecting an available bench in a serene location that fits your wishes. Once everything is approved and processed, we will arrange for the professional installation of your personalized plaque.
A memorial bench becomes a gift to both your family and the entire community, offering a place for reflection and peace for all who visit. We are here to help you through every step to ensure the tribute is perfect. Please get in touch with our office to begin the conversation.
