Commemorative Park Bench Program
A commemorative park bench within one of our beautiful parks is a wonderful way to honor your loved ones and something for all park patrons to enjoy for many years to come. Your generous contribution supports Albany Parks & Recreation while also enhancing the park itself and leaving a lasting memory. We will work with you to choose your park or natural area location, identify the perfect on-site spot for installation, and craft a special inscribed plaque message.
