Honor Someone Special
The Central Park Conservancy has several ways to give in honor of someone you care about. Give a gift membership for a birthday, make a donation in honor of a new college graduate, plant daffodils or tulips for Mother's Day or choose one of our other giving options for any other occasion. Your contribution is a great way to mark life's milestones while helping to preserve the Park.

Gilder Run Gilder Run, located on the steps of beautiful, Bridge No. 24, is a beloved location by all Central Park runners and walkers as it connects the East Drive with the Reservoir’s 1.5 mile running track. A paving stone on Gilder Run offers the opportunity to engrave your name, in stone, in Central Park.

Adopt a Bench The Adopt-A-Bench program was established in 1986 as a permanent fund to maintain and endow the care of Central Park’s more than 9,000 benches and their surrounding landscapes. In recognition of contributions to the fund, the Conservancy installs a plaque engraved with a personalized inscription on a park bench in a location of the donor’s choosing.

Endow a Tree The Central Park Conservancy's Tree Trust provides for the permanent care of Central Park's approximately 24,000 trees. From flowering cherries to statuesque elms, contributions to the Tree Trust ensure the Park's trees are pruned, fertilized and kept healthy and strong.
