Giving Opportunities

Commemorative Bench Program

Denver Parks and Recreation provides you with an opportunity to pay tribute to special individuals or events with a commemorative plaque on a standard bench in one of the 260 parks located in the City & County of Denver.

The Commemorative Bench Program is administered by the Denver Park Trust and allows you to make a lasting tribute and a meaningful donation to your community. Your tax deductible, $2,500 donation will result in a bench plaque and will help grow and improve Denver’s park system.
