Adopt a Bench

There are two bench styles: standard powder metal benches and stone benches. The type of bench available at participating locations is determined by the department.

Proposals are welcome for stone benches in natural park areas and will be evaluated based on feasibility. Existing benches in parks are available for adoption, while new metal benches can be adopted along the Boise River Greenbelt.

A stone bench adoption includes a granite plaque while a metal bench adoption includes a bronze plaque.

Cost 

The cost of a 20-year bench adoption in a neighborhood park is $1,675 while a stone bench or a bench in a premier park is $2,800.

Prices are effective 10/1/2022 through 9/30/2023.

Adoption Process

• Once payment has been received, an adoption form will be provided.
