The Adopt-A-Bench program was established in 1986 to create a permanent fund to maintain and endow the care of Central Park benches and their surrounding plantings. To date, over 1,200 benches have been adopted.

Most benches can be adopted for $7,500; a hand-made rustic bench can be adopted for $25,000.  Donors can have an engraved plaque with an inscription of their choice on the bench they select. The Conservancy will maintain the bench for the life of the Park.

If you are interested in information on adopting a bench, please call 212-310-6617, or e-mail the Conservancy at: benches@centralparknyc.org.  To adopt a bench, please click on, fill out and return the Adopt-A-Bench PDF.
