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 is installed in designated Regional Parks. The furniture includes a plaque dedicated to the individual of your choice. The cost to sponsor for ten years is $2,000; premium sites are $5,000 to $10,000. Please contact us for information on current locations that are available.

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.
Spring Lake Park Children’s Memorial Grove Mosaics
The Parks Foundation colloborates with youth arts organization Artstart to bring colorful, personalized, commemorative mosaic tile sections to the concrete bench at the Children’s Memorial Grove in Spring Lake Park. Artstart is an educational nonprofit organization dedicated to mentoring and training Sonoma County youth in the arts. This is a wonderful opportunity for a family to honor their child’s life or the life of a loved one of any age with a long-lasting and meaningful work of art, while helping young people fulfill their art dreams. For information on pricing, placement and availability, please contact Artstart.
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.
