This program provides individuals, groups and organizations with the opportunity to beautify parks in Strathcona County by planting trees or dedicating a bench in remembrance, observance or acknowledgment of an appropriate event, occasion or individual. A plaque is installed with the amenity or tree to serve as a lasting tribute. The Parkland Memorial Program is only for installation on Strathcona County park spaces.

Broadmoor Lake Park, Woodbridge Farms Lake, Ball Island, Broadmoor Public Golf Course and Sherwood Park Natural Area have reached capacity and are not accepting new applications for trees or amenities. Smeltzer House has reached capacity and is not accepting new applications for trees.

Requests are accepted year-round. Bench installations take place May through September and trees are planted in the Spring and Fall (weather dependent). Existing bench re-skin and plaque installation will take place when operationally feasible and may be before May 1 or after September 1. Applications received after August 1 are not guaranteed to be installed in the same calendar year.
