Nicholas Cumer Park Bench Dedication Program

East Washington Borough is excited to announce a program to purchase a bench to be placed at Nicholas Cumer Park in dedication/memorialization for your loved ones or honor a person. This generous donation will sponsor the purchase and placement of a bench with a dedication plaque in the park and will benefit the residents and the Borough for many years.

Bench Details:
The bench is 6 feet long, cedar-colored, and made of recycled plastic with a surface mount, cast aluminum, and powder-coated frame. The bronze plaque will be placed on the back of each bench with the name and information about the recipient.

Placement:
