Commemorative Donations

Commemorative Donations 
A guide to donating commemorative and memorial benches, tables and other gifts in Metro Vancouver Regional Parks.

Commemorative benches and tables enhance personal connections with a park or special place. They provide a gathering place for friends and family and opportunities for rest or quiet reflection. If you are considering a commemorative gift in a Metro Vancouver Regional Park, please take the following steps:

1. Review the available gift options
Metro Vancouver Parks offers a number of commemorative gift options (click photos to enlarge. Please note that photos provided are a guide only, the final product may differ slightly.). Not all gift options are available at each park and the number of available locations is limited. Note that the fee listed includes a plaque. If you do not want a plaque, the cost will be $150 less.

Park Bench - $1150

Concrete Picnic Table - $1950

2. Contact the Operations Supervisor for the park where you wish your donation to be located
Park staff will be happy to work with you to determine a suitable gift and location. Donors with alternative gift proposals are encouraged to contact Metro Vancouver Regional Parks.
