Commemorative Benches

Commemorate a loved one or a special occasion with a bench in Prospect Park. Install a new bench or adopt an existing bench you already know and love. With either option, the Alliance will install a plaque with the personal inscription of your choice.

Install a New Bench: $10,000

View our map of available bench locations to see where new benches may be installed in Prospect Park. The process of installing a new bench with a personalized plaque is approximately 6—10 weeks from start to finish.

Adopt an Existing Bench: $5,000

View our Bench Database to see locations of benches available for adoption, represented as yellow icons. We recommend visiting the park when considering your bench location, as there may be available benches to adopt not reflected in our database. The process of adding a personalized plaque to an existing bench is approximately 6—10 weeks to allow for plaque customization and repainting. Bench adoption timelines vary based on season and production timelines.
