MEMORIAL BENCHES

Benches are a very traditional way to remember or honor a loved one. From tennis courts to playgrounds, or under the shade of a tree, a properly placed bench speaks volumes.

Your donation of a park bench helps to beautify a park and provides a useful amenity for the thousands who visit. The opportunity for bench placement is available in select parks. Please reach out to Lisa Grigoletti at 815-987-1632 or via email at lisagrigoletti@rockfordparkdistrict.org to discuss the possibilities.
