The Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association (HPNA) has received permission from the City to affix plaques, with an in memoriam dedication, to the park benches in Hamilton Park. The plaques can be dedicated to someone special in your life who has passed. (Plaques cannot be dedicated to corporate entities or organizations.) Applicants will be asked to provide information on why they are seeking a plaque in Hamilton Park. The HPNA reserves the right for final approval on all plaque applications. The cost is $850 per plaque for a period of 10 years. The plaques will be 4” X 6” in size and made of tooled bronze. And 100% of the net proceeds will go toward either improvements to Hamilton Park or events to be held there. So, it’s a win-win. You can create a legacy for someone near and dear to you AND support Hamilton Park, which is also near and dear to you. Multiple people may contribute to the same bench plaque. You choose the inscription for the plaque (see application for more details below). Once approved by the HPNA and paid for by the applicant, the preferred bench will be officially reserved by the applicant and the plaque will then be produced (will take up to 4 weeks) and installed. The installation date will be provided to the applicant. Please note, the HPNA reserves the right to temporarily or permanently alter or relocate benches under certain circumstances. In such cases, the HPNA will make all reasonable efforts to consult with the original applicant prior to any such relocation or alteration. |
The Inaugural Memorial Plaque will be awarded to the late Hugh Harrison for his longtime work with the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association and the Jersey City community. His artwork for the Hamilton Park Neighborhood Association lives on and will be utilized on the Memorial Plaque Applications and information going forward. The HPNA is fundraising for this plaque.
