Brand your parks with signs that make them immediately recognizable. We designed a template in house that allowed Marlboro Township to swap park names on each sign, keeping the same general look on the 10+ parks thus far. Looking to upgrade the standard HDPE sign? These signs include additional epoxy colors and their township seal insert. If you’re looking to rebrand your parks, see what our graphic design team can do for you.

This memorial garden sign was remade in our sustainable HDPE recycled plastic. This sign is mounted in Mackinaw City, MI, on the shorelines of the Great Lakes, which means it’s dealing with 24/7 winds and moisture. As you can see from the before-and-after, these conditions will decay other signage like wood, foam, and composite. Our material is maintenance free, no rot, no rust.

This memorial bench was for two brothers, dedicated by their mother. Emblem graphics were added to the lettering as features of their personality and hobbies. This bench was donated to the local ODNR park as it was the lake they both fished. Be sure to check with your local park to see if they have a program for memorial benches or would take a bench donation, many are happy to accommodate.
