Memorial Benches

Honor and Legacy in Every Seat: Memorial Benches at Mount Vernon Veterans Park

As communities grow and evolve, the need for recreational spaces and community enhancements becomes increasingly important. Parks and playgrounds are not only essential for fostering social connections but also for promoting healthy outdoor activities. Join us in creating a tranquil haven that celebrates both community and remembrance. With a contribution of $1200, you can sponsor a lasting 4-foot memorial bench, strategically placed around the newly renovated lake and vibrant playground. These benches provide a unique opportunity for companies or individuals alike to leave their mark while contributing to the improvement of our local playgrounds, lakeside areas, and walking paths.
