Tribute gifts are the perfect way to honor someone special. We have a few options to commemorate a loved one or give a gift to
benefit the park.

Adopt a Bench or Swing

Adopt a bench or swing in honor of a friend or loved one. We will install a plaque with their name on the backrest.

Bench – $5,000
Bench Swing – $7,000

Dedicate a Tree

Planting a tree in Waterfront Park is a meaningful way to honor a loved one, mark a milestone, or simply contribute to a greener future. While we do not place plaques on or near trees out of respect for their growth and long-term resilience, we’re happy to explore thoughtful ways to recognize your dedication. Your gift supports a living legacy, enhances the natural beauty of downtown Louisville, and helps create a healthier, more vibrant public space for all.

Dedicate a Tree – $500
