The Fort Greene Park Conservancy is offering the opportunity for individuals and families to sponsor park benches within the park. The Parks Department has identified seven locations in the interior of the park to place 37 new benches.
The park bench that will be offered for sponsorship is a reproduction of the benches that graced the 1939 New York World's Fair, commonly called the World's Fair Bench. They are 8 feet long with hard wood slats and three metal arms. An engraved plaque identifying the bench's sponsor (or sponsors) will be installed on the top wood slat of the bench. A full bench can be sponsored for $3,000, or for $1650 you can have half a bench with an engraved plaque. The cost of sponsorship is 100% tax deductible.
Sponsoring a bench is a great way to remember a special person or to celebrate an anniversary or other important occasion. Since we only have room for 37 benches and the locations are limited, we anticipate they will go fast. For more information contact Jim Barnes.
Designated bench locations:
1-7 are the planned locations for new benches.
