The Arlington Heights Park Foundation's goal is to stimulate further interest in parks and recreation by encouraging volunteerism and outside resources to enhance the Arlington Heights Park District programs, parks, facilities, and services. Founded in 2001, the Arlington Heights Park Foundation is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization that supports Arlington Heights Park District programs and events.

Recognition in the walkway will be given to donation in the following categories for a 4" x 8" brick paver. A Maximum of 3 lines 16 letter per line. Spaces and punctuation marks count as one letter.

To maintain the ambience of downtown Arlington Heights, paving bricks are used for the walkways at North School Park. Residents and businesses of Arlington Heights have contributed by purchasing engraved bricks which are placed in the walkways. This Buy-A-Brick program gives people the opportunity to show family trees, propose marriage, honor a loved one, and celebrate anniversaries, among other things.

A memorial bench is the perfect way to accent one of our parks and provides a special place of remembrance. Inscribe on one of our memorial benches a message of love, recognition, hope, or whatever you desire. The historical dedication provides a lasting tribute in honor of a loved one and enhances the meaning of a bench to park users. The Arlington Heights Park District memorial benches are 6 foot wide with recycled plastic cedar panels and cast iron supports and reside on an ADA accessible concrete bench pad. Additionally, a personalized 2"x10" bronze plaque in honor of your loved one is included. Total cost for the Memorial Bench is $2,500.00, which includes the bench, installation, upkeep, and a remembrance plaque. Exact location will be coordinated at time of purchase and is subject to approval by Park District staff. Contributions are tax deductible. If you have a specific request please contact Memorial Donation Department to verify that your request can be accommodated. Order forms are also available at the Administration Center, 410 N. Arlington Heights Road. Call 847-577-3009 for more information or email: memorial@ahpd.org

Pioneer Community Center features a donor Giving Tree. Donated by a local family in honor a loved one, the Giving Tree provides an opportunity for residents to make a donation in their name, pay tribute, or memorialize someone special; a family member or friend. Leaves of Gold, Silver and Bronze will be part of this enduring art as a lasting tribute. Join your family, friends and neighbors by making a contribution to promote art in the park. Be a part of the parks and recreation community you love by making a donation to support the Giving Tree.

Honor that special person or occasion with the Park District's Living Memorial program. You can choose from a selection of shade trees, ornamental trees or evergreens, and with a $440 donation, purchase a tree in a selected park. An engraved name plate is also displayed on a plaque at the Administration Center. Orders are accepted throughout the year, but will be placed with the nursery once in early spring and once in early fall based on tree establishment and growth success patterns (i.e. evergreens do best when planted in the spring). Plantings are dependent upon weather. Please note: The Arlington Heights Park District will be responsible for warranty of your memorial tree for a maximum of four years after planting. If you have a specific request please contact our Memorial Donation Department to verify that your request can be accommodated. Order forms are also available at the Administration Center, 410 N Arlington Heights Road. Call 847-577-3009 for more information or email: memorial@ahpd.org
