Bench at Salt Creek (Cross Mound Park)
Donors receive a certificate stating the name of the honoree(s), the location and type of tree planted, or bench. It will be suitable for framing, bear Fairfield County Park District’s logo, and be signed by the Director and Chairperson of Fairfield County Board of Park Commissioners. A customized plaque (6″ H x 6″ W for trees, and 2” H x 10” W for benches) will be installed. Fairfield County Park District is not responsible for replacement of vandalized or stolen plaques. The cost includes the tree or bench, installation and maintenance, and plaque.
Commemorative Benches
The price includes the cost of the bench, the plaque, freight, installation, and maintenance. After receipt of the request, it will take approximately six weeks to complete installation of the park bench. Typically, benches can be installed spring through fall.
Donors may request a location in any of our park properties, except Stebelton Park at Rock Mill. All location requests must be reviewed and approved by Fairfield County Park District’s Director or responsible staff member. If a requested park already has the desired number of benches, staff will recommend an alternative park.
Commemorative Trees
Donors may request a specific planting location. Requests are reviewed and finalized by Fairfield County Park District’s Director or responsible staff member in coordination with the donor. Trees may be planted only on FCPD property and will be installed by FCPD staff. The spring planting season is typically March-June, fall planting mid-September to mid-November, but dates may vary.
Donors select a tree from the Native Ohio Trees list. Special requests for trees not on the list will be evaluated for hardiness, availability, and suitability. If a special request cannot be accommodated, FCPD staff will work with the donor to find an appropriate alternative. If a tree dies or fails to thrive within the first two-year period, it will be replaced in the next appropriate planting season, free of charge.
