Q:        Does the city have a memorial donation program where can I donate to have a tree or bench placed on public property in memory of someone?

A:        The city does not currently have a program which allows individuals to donate a tree, bench, etc. in honor of someone in our parks or on any public property.  There was a park memorial program from 2009 until about 2012, but the volume of requests received made this unsustainable.  The City was unable to accommodate many of them, and it created great challenges, so the program was discontinued.
