Memorial Bench Program

Due to the popularity of this program, bench sites are only available at Burleson Park, Davis Park, and Williams Park. The following items are included when you make a donation to the Memorial Bench Program:

  • You will work with the Parks and Recreation Department to select an available location for the bench within the park system.
  • Parks and Recreation staff will order and install the bench as well as an inscribed bench plaque memorial.
  • You will receive a certificate signed by the Mayor.
  • You will receive an aerial map designating the location of your memorial bench.
  • The cost of the program is $5,000.

To donate monetarily or to give a gift in the form of a physical object such as art, furnishings, fountain, etc., donors must submit the completed Memorial and Donation Program Form (PDF) to the UPPARD at parks@uptexas.org. UPPARD staff will reach out to the donor to coordinate the receipt of the gift and its installation or use within the UPPARD program.
