Parks & Recreation Donation Program

The City of Mendota Heights accepts donations that enhance recreation services, park facilities and other city-owned property as deemed fit for donation by city staff. The Mendota Heights Memorials and Donated Improvements program is designed to increase the public enjoyment of the park system and public spaces in the City. This program allows community members to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate an exciting event, milestone, or achievement with a donated improvement for the City of Mendota Heights parks, park facilities and other City-owned spaces.

If you are interested in this program, complete the application form located below and submit this to Parks and Recreation. There are five donation items included in the application; a park bench, Little Free Library, picnic table, tree or monetary donation. After an application is made, donations are recommended to the City Council by the Parks and Recreation Commission, and then the donation, plaque messaging, and site location requires approval by the City Council before the item is purchased.
