Memorial Benches

Memorial benches provide a beautiful and substantial dedication in the park.  Benches become a part of the landscape offering rest and support to members and visitors.  For your donation, a dedication plaque placed in special honor with commemorate your loved one and their love of nature and wildlife.

Please fill out an application form to apply for a memorial bench location.  Benches are limited to designated areas and prearranged with the Program Supervisor for site approval.   Only a select number of benches installed each season throughout the park.

The cost of installing a dedicated bench on park and zoo property is now $2,500.  This cost is subject to change at any time. Riverview Park and Zoo will be the owner of the bench that is dedicated in your honour. A charitable tax reciept will be issued for the total bench fee amount.  The fee covers the cost of the bench installation and dedication plate.

Your investment allows us to offer place of rest for the millions of visitors who visit over the next decade.

Thank you.
