Tree Memorial Program

Honor a loved one with a lasting memorial, a live tree planted at one of our many beautiful parks! This new parks program is a wonderful tribute to a loved one and is easy to order. You choose one of many different flowering and shade trees and where to plant it.  These 15-gallon trees vary in height from 8 feet to 12 feet, depending on the variety chosen. Trees can be purchased for $250 each, and a nameplate for $50. Planting will only be done from October through March, and the final decision on location will be up to the Parks Director. Please Note: Trees are guaranteed for one (1) year. After one year, Deerfield Township Parks is not responsible for replacing trees which are no longer viable. Deerfield Township is partnering with Natorp's for this program.

Bench Memorial Program

Here is a way to honor a family member in a very special way.  A beautiful park bench with your loved one's name can be purchased and placed at one of our parks. The bench will remain on park grounds until it becomes unsafe or aesthetically unacceptable.

Deerfield Township currently has a complement of 12 passive and active parks for residents of all ages to enjoy.  The last and newest addition, Fleckenstein Park on Mason Montgomery Road, is in the final stages of development. 

Cottell Park, located on Irwin Simpson Road near Snider Road, recently underwent a complete renovation including parking upgrades, additional baseball fields, extension of water and sewer, and a new restroom facility.  The "new and improved" park, completed in the spring of 2006, has been a welcome improvement to the Deerfield Township Parks. 

We are also excited about the newest addition to the Department, Fleckenstein Park, with 50 acres that adjoins Chestnut Hill Subdivision.  The property, frontage along Mason-Montgomery Road, is a welcome addition to the northwest communities of Deerfield Township.  The flat topology of the property allows for both active sport field and passive recreational usage coexisting with the green space. Construction, expected to be complete in the Spring of 2008, includes walking trails, tennis courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, shelter/restroom facilities and a playground.
