Property Donations

Do you have, or have you inherited, a property that would be suitable as a LaGrange County Park? Or, maybe you have a property that you could leave to the Parks Department through a will. This is how our Parks Department began, with property donated for public use and enjoyment!  

Contact the Park Office with questions or for more information.

Monetary Donations

Monetary donations may be shared at any time!  Every donation is appreciated, whether a small donation or a business donation, it all adds up to success. You are welcome to specify a current project or event that you would like to support. Otherwise, all donations are used toward priority projects.    

Here is a list of 2023 events and projects, in no particular order, that we are saving for now!

  • "LaGrange County Connecting with Youth" Event -- This event takes place at Delt Church Park on June 17, 2023. This is an opportunity to forge positive interactive relations between our community youth and local law enforcement. We are in need of door prizes suitable for youth in grades 6-12!  Both monetary donations and/or item donations are accepted. 
  • Disc Golf Course Improvements at Delt Church Park -- We have seen great improvements in the last year.  Our next improvement project is to raise funds to replace the goal baskets.  Estimate $8,000.
  • Trail Maintenance -- This is an ongoing mission to maintain the quality of trail surfaces for nearly 10 miles of trails and boardwalks.  Limestone is needed to topcoat thinning areas.  Boardwalk repair is needed as lumber deteriorates.   
  • Not So Spooky Event at Maple Wood Nature Center -- This has become a fall family favorite event!  Financial support is requested to fund the wagon rides through the woods, and to purchase/create permanent props that are placed along the trail for this event.  Estimate $1,000.
  • Playground Equipment --  Delt Church Park Playground is always in need of funds to pay for equipment replacement.   Dallas Lake Park is in need of a new accessible playground.  Estimate $500,000.

Donations may be mailed to the park office or given online HERE.  Under "Purpose of Payment", enter "Donation" and, if desired, enter a specific project or event.  A receipt will be issued.
