Memorial Benches and Trees in The Woodlands

Benches, trees and flagpoles given in memory, honor or thanks, park by park

Many benches, trees, plants and flagpoles in the parks of The Woodlands were given in memory or honor of someone, or as a thank-you, and a few came from Eagle Scout and Girl Scout projects. The Woodlands Township keeps a record of these gifts in its parks map data. This list has all 138 the Township had on record in October 2026, grouped by village and park. Each dedication is shown as the Township recorded it; where the record says what the gift is, that follows in parentheses.

The Woodlands Township still accepts these gifts through its Gifts for Our Community program. Approved items include park benches, picnic tables, drinking fountains, pathway bridges, 45-gallon trees and bronze plaques, and the person honored must live or have lived in The Woodlands, or work or have worked there. The Township works with each donor on cost, design and location. The request form and the Township’s policy are on its Community Contributions page, or contact the program at giftsforourcommunity@thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov or 281-210-3800.
