Sponsor a part of your park
Celebrate the people and events in your life by dedicating a bench, picnic table, sculpture, or by planting trees and flowers.
Dedicate a Bench
Dedicate an existing park bench ($1,500) or refurbish one that’s already in the perfect spot ($3,500). Make a big impact by adding a new bench or table ($5,500 – $10,000 depending on location).
Special opportunities:
COMO LAKE: There is just ONE new bench available along Como Lake for $10,000. Then the lake openings will be full. 20 year dedication.
COMO PAVILION: We are replacing the moveable benches on the Promenade of the Lakeside Pavilion. New benches with a dedication are available for just $1,500. Order yours today.
MEARS PARK: All the benches in Mears Park have been refurbished and dedications are available for just $1,500. Order yours today.
Unless otherwise noted, all named dedications are for 10 years and are renewable.
Please note that no bench dedications are currently available along Mississippi River Blvd or in Rice Park.
Plant a Memorial Tree in a Park
Giving a tree is life-affirming and makes the world a better place. The person you are honoring will receive a customized mailed card with the date of the gift and the location of their tree. $650. (Cost includes tree, planting labor, one year of watering and one-year warranty for replacement.)
The spring planting order deadline is March 1; the fall planting deadline is Aug. 1. Please note that new tree dedications are not available in Como Park at this time due to its dense tree canopy.
Sponsor a Sculpture
From icons of art and literature to fountains, murals and the loveable Peanuts gang, Saint Paul Parks are home to more than 80 works of art. Do you have a favorite you would like to name for your family or someone you love?
Dedications are available for two- to ten-year terms. All dedications are renewable.
Green Up Saint Paul
Help replant and protect our urban forest from the devastating effects of Emerald Ash Borer, which has wiped out 25% of Saint Paul trees. You can help green up our city with your gift in any amount today.
