Types of Bench Donations: There are two types of park bench donations: 1) a Memorial Bench with a small plaque identifying an individual honoree; and 2) a “Friend of Berkeley Parks” Bench with a small plaque that does not identify an individual (i.e. donated by a Friend of Berkeley Parks). An application in writing is required for either donation type. Criteria for a Memorial Bench An honoree for a Memorial Bench must have been deceased for at least one year prior to application. Only individuals may be honored with a memorial bench; organizations and groups will not be considered.
I'd start by asking the City of Berkeley Department of Parks and Recreation.
