Park Memorial Program
Cities play an important role in commemorating people, history, events, and ideas central to a society’s sense of identity and value. The purpose of the Dardenne Prairie Park Memorial Program is to establish guidelines for a consistent decision-making process related to the acceptance, placement, and long-term maintenance of public requests for memorial donations in City-owned facilities, parks, natural areas, and trail systems.
The cost of participating in the Park Memorial Program will be specific to the item selected. The City will calculate a cost that encompasses the cost of the item, site preparation and installation costs, along with a reasonable maintenance cost. The City will price the items to mainly cover costs, as this program is not viewed as a proposed revenue stream.
For each memorial paver or bench item, donors receive a plaque that can accommodate up to 45 characters with a maximum of three lines (15 characters per line). Messages are to say “In Memory of (name), In Honor of (name), or Dedicated to (name)” possibly followed by a date or event. All inscriptions are subject to approval by the City. The plaque is fastened to a bench or placed in the ground near the item.
