Per State Statute and our City Ordinance policy, it is illegal to bury remains within public and park property.

Parks Gifting Fund

As an alternative to memorial donations, contributions can be made to the Parks Gifting Fund to be used for projects across the City’s park system. Donations are recognized with a certificate (plaques are not issued). Donations are not designated to a specific park or item.
