Legacy in the Park

Legacy in the Park is an amazing program that allows individuals, families, or businesses to assist the City of Palestine Parks and Recreation Department by maintaining, replacing, or adding new amenities through community donations.

By sponsoring a permanent fixture in one of the City of Palestine's parks or cemeteries, you have the opportunity to honor a special person or event with a personalized permanent plaque placed on or close to your selected donated item.

For more information, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department or view the Legacy in the Park Brochure (PDF).
