Parks Memorial Program

IMG_1123The City of Piqua allows groups and individuals to donate trees and benches to honor or commemorate loved ones or special events. A memorial tree or bench is a unique gift that provides a lasting tribute and adds beauty to our City parks.

City staff will work with you to determine what tree characteristics and park locations you are interested in. Please keep in mind that site conditions may vary, which may impact what species are appropriate for different locations. Because we are planting to be successful, the City has final approval of the tree species and location. The City will care for your tree in the same manner as with all trees that we plant. However, please remember that not all newly planted trees survive. Weather extremes, quality of plant material and other factors all play a role in new tree survival.

A memorial bench is made of recycled plastic and provides a long-lasting, appealing and functional tribute in the outdoor setting. This bench can be personalized with an engraved message to remember a loved one or to commemorate an event.
