Six black granite tablets were installed at McEuen Park on Thursday with the first of six tablets already engraved with names from donors. For a $500 donation, you can have your name, family name, business or loved ones name engraved on the donor wall. “It’s a great idea for a Christmas gift,” said Debbie Wilson, Executive Director of the Panhandle Parks Foundation. Each tablet has room for 64 lines, each with a maximum of 24 letters.

Now that all six granite tablets are installed, a mobile engraver will add names in groups of 20 to 25 as lines are purchased, Wilson said. Donations received will be used for maintenance and amenities for Coeur d’Alene Parks and help to secure property for future parks, open space and recreational facilities in the Lake City.

To purchase space on the donor wall, email Wilson at [email protected]. A donor form can also be downloaded from panhandleparksfoundation.org or interested parties can call Wilson at 446-4813. A box with donor forms will also be placed at the donor wall soon.

Meantime, the Panhandle Parks Foundation is planning an unveiling at the donor wall. A date and time will be announced soon.
