When the Park District builds a new park or renovates an
existing park there are opportunities to install a new park
bench in the area. When these opportunities arise, we
invite our patrons to commemorate a special event, or a
special person in their lives with the Park Bench Memorial
Program. Once installed, park benches are marked with
a bronze plaque and can be personalized with up to three
lines of type. The commemorative park bench will be a
long-lasting living rememberance to benefit the community
for many years to come.

at the foot of each tree to remember a loved one or celebrate
a commemorative event. Plaque prices vary
