Dedicating a bench on the trail is a meaningful way to honor or memorialize a loved one, co-worker, friend, or fellow trail enthusiast. By dedicating a bench, you create a lasting tribute that offers a place of rest and reflection for all who use the trail.

It serves as a physical reminder of the individual or occasion you’re celebrating while also enhancing the trail experience for others who enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area.

In addition to providing a tangible amenity for trail users, dedicating a bench also plays a vital role in supporting Fort Wayne Trails. The funds from bench dedications directly contribute to the ongoing maintenance and expansion of the trail system throughout Allen County. This helps ensure that the trails remain well-maintained, accessible, and enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities, encouraging healthy outdoor activities and fostering a sense of community.

By dedicating a bench, you are not only leaving a personal mark, but you are also contributing to the continued growth of the Fort Wayne Trails network. As the trail system expands and evolves, your support ensures that the legacy of your dedication lives on, benefiting both current and future generations of trail users. It’s a meaningful way to be part of something that enhances the community’s well-being and promotes outdoor recreation for years to come.
