Tree & Bench Donations
Honor a special person or commemorate a birthday or anniversary
by donating a tree or park bench in one of our parks!
Tree Donation
Trees are sold at cost, prices range from $250 – $450 depending on the type of species selected and size of the tree. Tree donations are accepted year round, but are only planted from spring to fall (weather permitting). Due to our repeating hot dry spells from late June to September, evergreen trees will only be planted in the fall. After planting, all trees will have a 25 gallon water bag placed around the base of the trunk and regularly watered for the first two years or until established. Should your donated tree become damaged or die it will be replaced at no cost to you. Peripheral plantings, landscape enhancements or markers are not permitted.

Bench Donations
For those who like to walk in the parks, a bench donation might seem especially appropriate. The District has selected a black park bench that will complement any of our parks. Benches may be purchased at cost for $750 and personalized with a bronze plaque for an additional cost. Additional bench opportunities will be available in 2018 at Century Park South.
At this time, we can no longer accept bench donation at Lake Charles.
