Trinity River & Trails Community Bench Program
Along the Trinity River & Trails, benches create space for rest, reflection, and connection. Dedicate a bench as a meaningful way to honor someone you love and give back to the Fort Worth community.
Streams & Valleys offers community bench dedications as a meaningful way to honor what matters most whether celebrating a milestone, recognizing a family legacy, or expressing gratitude for a special connection to the river.
More than a marker, a bench dedication is a shared gift to Fort Worth — woven into morning walks, sunset runs, and family outings, quietly serving generations to come.
Bench Dedication and Timeline
Each Community Bench Dedication is a meaningful investment in both remembrance and stewardship.
Your dedication includes:
-
Placement along the Trinity River & Trails in a thoughtfully selected location
-
A custom engraved 16” x 8” x 4” granite plaque
-
Ongoing maintenance for 10 years to ensure the bench remains welcoming and well-kept
Bench dedications are made as a charitable contribution to Streams & Valleys. Once a location and plaque wording are finalized, most benches are installed within approximately 45–60 days, depending on fabrication schedules and weather conditions.
At the end of the 10-year dedication period, you may choose to renew your bench or allow it to become available for another community member.
