Commemorative Gifts
Are you looking for a special way to commemorate a milestone? Do you want to honor a family member or friend with a gift that supports our parks? The Parks Foundation offers the following options for commemorative tribute and memorial gifts:
Benches and Picnic Tables
Commemorative furniture opportunities exist in many of our Regional Parks and include a plaque with wording of your choice (subject to approval). The cost to sponsor for ten years is $2,000; premium sites are $5,000 to $10,000. Please note popular parks, like Spring Lake and Doran, may not have benches available but can offer picnic tables! The process takes a minimum of 2-3 months to complete from initial inquiry to installation -- and may be longer due to COVID-19 delays. We look forward to helping you. Please contact us for information on current locations that are available. Click here to review the 2020 policy and application.
Regional Parks Tree Fund
Tree fund donations are $100 each and result in a certificate acknowledging that a tree will be planted in honor or in memory of an individual. Donations are held in a fund until Regional Parks needs to plant a tree or trees in one of the county parks. Unfortunately, we are not typically able to designate your tree fund donation for a particular tree or park. We can, however, mail a copy of a special certificate to an individual to let him or her know of your donation. Click here to download the tree fund donation form.
Larger Naming Opportunities
Parks in the Regional Parks system also present opportunities for larger gifts, such as a beautiful stone barbecue, the Shiloh Ranch horseshoe pitching court, Shiloh Ranch picnic grove, bi-level drinking fountains for dogs and owners, group picnic areas, camp ground enhancements, dog park improvements, and other facility upgrades. Please contact Executive Director Melissa Kelley for more information.
