Parks Donation Program
Ways to donate
Park furniture
The Parks Department accepts charitable donations to restore and improve our open spaces. Benches, picnic tables, and other items make great gifts to both your beneficiary and your favorite park.
Cash donation
The department is happy to accept monetary donations of any amount. Donors may donate by cash in person at any park location, by cash or check in person at our administration office, or by credit card online by clicking the image above.
Volunteer
Parks would not thrive without the help of volunteers! Reach out to our volunteer team to find out how you, your friends and family, or your coworkers can donate your time and energy to make a difference while having fun.
Miscellaneous items
The department occasionally accepts other items, such as taxidermy, gardening equipment, and artifacts with relevance to our parks. Contact Jeremy Corrales to inquire about these donations - [email protected]
Donation catalog
Our donation catalog has undergone some upgrades and is available to view in its entirety below. The catalog features current donatable items with pricing as well as guidelines for recognition plaques and terms associated with the donation program.
All donations shall contribute to the overall park visitor experience and preserve the visual character of the park setting. Placement of a donated item is at the sole discretion of the Parks and Recreation Department. A donor may request a specific park or property, but the Parks Department will ultimately decide the park and exact location within the park. This may be based on an existing design plan for the property, or if no plan exists, where placement is deemed a park or recreational necessity and consistent with overall design standards of the park.
Donation request form
Bench with back $3,050
Rest your feet after a long hike, take a moment to catch your breath, or just sit back and enjoy the views on a park bench! Benches are our most popular donation item and is a great way to show your love for your favorite park.
Concrete picnic table $5,300
Concrete picnic tables are great for picnics and gatherings in parks. Sit across from someone you know or make a new friend who enjoys being outdoors as much as you do!
Drinking fountain $7,900
Staying hydrated while out in the parks is important for both you and your pets! All future drinking fountains are ADA accessible and feature bottle fillers. Pet bowl attachments are optional in parks that are dog friendly.
Bicycle repair station $3,400
Breaking down on the trails is no fun! Bicycle repair stations make getting back to riding a breeze.
Recognition plaque guidelines
All donated furniture will be permitted to have a 5"x2" brass plaque fastened in a pre-determined location. Plaques are included for all donations except for trees.
Where a plaque is permitted, only the following language, font weight, and font style will be allowed:
- One one name (i.e. Joseph Grant), or one Family name (i.e. The Grant Family), or one group name (i.e. The Grant Foundation) is allowed on the plaque. A date on the plaque is optional.
- Where plaques are permitted, the cost of the original plaque is included in the donation price. However, if the plaque is vandalized or needs repair or replacement in the future, the donor will be responsible to replace the plaque if they so choose.
- All plaques, new or replacement, must conform to the guidelines.
