Donate a Bench

Benches are an essential feature of the trail, providing trail users with a great place to rest, watch other users, and enjoy the surroundings. By sponsoring a bench, your contribution will be both well appreciated and receive stand-alone recognition. Benches are dark blue metal benches custom fabricated by Trystan Site Furnishings. The bench design is based on Trystan's 5 foot long Harbour Series Bench; the back and arm of the bench have been modified to incorporate the curve of the Waterfront Trail logo. Each dark blue steel bench will recognize its sponsor with an engraved steel plate attached at the location shown. Your contribution covers bench fabrication, delivery, and installation along the trail.

Donation Range: $2,000 and up

The inscription on a Bench can be up to 4 lines with up to 25 characters per line.

Donate an Interpretive Sign

The CWT Interpretive Sign is a low-profile sign to highlight sites or views of natural or cultural significance. The sign panel will be a collage of photos, maps, and text on a durable laminated surface mounted on a stainless steel stand. The logo curve will be incorporated into the top of the sign and into the upright metal stand. The metal sign structure will have a corten (weathering) steel finish and be bolted to a concrete footer. Your name will be incorporated into the design of the interpretive sign panel and trail map and you will have the opportunity to review the sign prior to its fabrication. Your contribution covers fabrication and installation of the stainless steel sign stand and the design, fabrication and installation of the 24” x 36” interpretive sign panel.

Donation Range: $4,000 and up

The inscription on an Interpretive Sign can be up to 12 lines with up to 12 characters per line.

There are bike racks at the Cass Park Trailhead. Other possible locations are trailheads in Phase 2 and other destinations along the trail. Your contribution covers bike rack fabrication and installation with an engraved plate with your name mounted on the rack.
