Crown Park

Adopt-a-Bench Program

About

The Crown Park Adopt-A-Bench program allows you to support Camas Parks Foundation and Camas Parks and Recreation while commemorating family, friends, or special events by adopting a bench in the newly renovated Crown Park (coming Spring/Summer 2025) through a tax-deductible contribution to the Camas Parks Foundation.

The contribution amount includes the placement of a new bench and a plaque to be engraved with your desired inscription (please review the program details below for some guidelines). The Crown Park renovation starts in June 2024 and will go into 2025. The benches purchased will be placed in the park and plaques will be attached on them prior to the grand opening or as soon as practical.

Bench Adoption is $3,000 and will span 15 years.

To get started, submit the following interest form and we will reach out to you within 5 business days.
