McEuen Park Donor Wall: Etch Your Name in History

Posted: 3/4/2014 6:20:32 PM

An attractive Donor Wall planned for McEuen Park in downtown Coeur d'Alene provides the opportunity for citizens to make a permanent impression, while supporting citywide parks.

The Panhandle Parks Foundation has made the initial payment of $25,000 to the city of Coeur d'Alene to construct the wall, with an additional $17,000 promised as donations are received. The granite donor wall will be placed at the western end of the park near the Fourth Street entrance to McEuen Park.

For a donation of $500 per line you can have your family name, business or a loved one's name engraved in one of six granite plaques. There are only 380 lines available and many have already been sold.

,"If citizens are looking for a way to permanently recognize their family or enhance their company image, the donor wall is a perfect way to show support of our parks and help build community pride in our new park," Panhandle Parks Foundation Executive Director Kim Stearns.

Donations received will be used for maintenance and amenities for all Coeur d'Alene Parks and help to secure property for future parks, open space and recreational facilities, Stearns said.
