Commemorative Bench Donation Program

he City's bench donation program allows residents — and other interested parties — to create a lasting memorial in a Shaker Heights park.

Donated benches are installed in City parks, as determined by the City of Shaker Heights.

Each donated bench includes a four-by-six inch bronze commemorative plaque. Cost of the donation is $2,600.

The City purchases (see sample styles), installs and maintains the commemorative bench.
