Memorial Gifts and Tributes
The Springfield Parks Foundation is happy and proud to provide many ways for you to pay tribute to your loved ones. Through our tributes and memorial gifts program, donors can purchase a brick, a tree, or even a bench to pay tribute to their loved ones.

The Generations Tree Program is a cooperative program between the Springfield Parks Foundation and the Springfield Park District. It was created to provide an opportunity for individuals, families, businesses, and groups to establish a living, long-lasting, and beautiful tribute to someone that they wish to honor.
The Springfield Parks Foundation is dedicated to preserving and restoring native vegetation within our parks. We work with the Springfield Park District Arborist to establish an approved tree list that meets restoration criteria.
Cost: $200
