PARKS AND RECREATION

The City of Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department is fortunate to have over 400 acres of park land throughout the city. One of the greatest assets of any park is its trees, which

provide not only beauty but shade and numerous environmental benefits. Many of the trees in our parks are old and are beginning to show signs of disease and decay. While much of the

funding for necessary pruning and replanting is provided through the Parks Department budget, there is never enough money to accomplish everything. There is a continuing need for supplemental funding in the tree planting and maintenance budget.The Parks Department has established the Legacy Tree Program for this reason. Through this program,

old trees will be replaced and other areas rejuvenated. Contributions are placed in the Park Special Gift Fund and are used only for the planting of Legacy trees. Legacy Tree Program supporters will be able to see their contributions live on in each tree while commemorating a special person, beloved pet or an event.For a $200 fee, the Parks Department will order the tree species of your choice (approved by the Parks Department,) and plant and maintain your tree.
