Due to overwhelming demand, we are not taking new bench nor table commemoration requests at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
You are invited to honor, memorialize or thank a friend, family member, or colleague with the dedication of a commemorative bench or picnic table in one of San Mateo County’s beautiful parks.
Every San Mateo County Park, Historic Site, and Regional Trail has a list of approved sites for benches and picnic tables. The San Mateo County Parks Foundation will be glad to work with you on a location.
In coordination with the San Mateo County Parks Department, the Foundation will purchase and install a bench or picnic table for you in the location you desire, if it is available. A 3” x 12 ¼” plaque with up to several lines of text will be inlaid into a bench or table board. The bench or table can be dedicated for a ten- or twenty-year period.
Dedicate a bench/ table for 10 years – $5,000
Dedicate a bench/ table for 20 years – $8,500
You will be contacted about re-dedication toward the end of the allotted period. The maximum amount time to dedicate a bench is 20 years. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible and our federal tax i.d. is 94-3306697.
