Additional Information

The City of Mesa Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities will coordinate the donation and installation of benches and trees in accordance with City policies and procedures. All engraving text, bench locations, styles, and placements are subject to City approval and availability. Once all details and payment are finalized, please allow approximately three to six months for installation. All donated trees and benches become the property of the City of Mesa and are maintained at the same standard as other park furnishings and landscape elements. Benches have an expected lifespan of approximately 15 years, and while tree survival cannot be guaranteed, every effort will be made to ensure their longevity.
