Memorial Program

How would you like a tree or park bench to honor your friend or loved one? It’s possible with the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District Memorial Program. This is a gift that will benefit the community for years to come.

TREES
Trees may be selected from the district’s recommended tree list, which consists of native trees that thrive in the Homewood-Flossmoor area.

• Trees such as Sugar Maple, Red Oak, Linden, Autumn Blaze Maple, Copper Beech, and more - $300
(Variety based on location and nursery availability)

• Evergreens such as a spruce, fir or pine - $350

Donors are invited to attend the planting ceremony which can be done Monday - Friday in the spring or fall. Tree plaques honoring your friend or loved one are available, but not required, for approximately $410 (aluminum) or $490 (bronze).  The plaque is placed at the tree's base.


PARK EQUIPMENT
Another way to leave a legacy is through the purchase of a park bench, which includes a personalized plaque honoring your friend or loved one.

• Recycled plastic bench with plaque - approximately $2,100
(Price varies based on vendor pricing and availability)

For information on any of these memorials please contact Anne Brabec at the Goldberg Administration Center at 708.957.0300.

We try to accommodate your request of location if you have a spot in mind and can suggest a park in need of a tree or bench, but we are unable to plant additional memorial trees or place benches at Millennium, Irwin, Leavitt, Patriots or Dolphin Lake parks.

Park Donations

Each year the H-F Park District receives more than 150 requests for donations from non-profit organizations and individuals. Requests are reviewed and decisions are made weekly by a team of administrators. Although all causes are worthy of consideration, the park district — being a taxing body — must take into consideration its role of being a good steward of taxpayer dollars. With that in mind, the district tries to donate services to local organizations. The Park District does not make any financial contributions to any organization or charity.

Donation requests should be submitted in writing to the H-F Park District at:

Goldberg Center
3301 Flossmoor Road
Flossmoor, IL 60422
Attn: Anne Brabec

Please allow at least one month for the review of your request.
