The Cornelius PARC Department has established a donation program because we value the opportunity to work with you to provide a way to memorialize or commemorate a loved one, organization, or special event. We offer many opportunities to honor or memorialize the people you love, admire, and miss in your life by acknowledging a special birthday, a place of importance, or a life milestone. Our Commemorative Donation Program is also a way to provide organizations with a means of recognizing members, civic groups, businesses, or special events.
Most parks are available to receive donated benches, picnic tables and trees.
