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 and Broadmoor Public Golf Course 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. Installations take place May through September and trees are planted in the Spring and Fall (weather dependent). Applications received after August 1 are not guaranteed to be installed in the same calendar year.
