Tree Memorial Program

Looking for a way to help make a Greener Lubbock? With this year’s tree planting season nearly upon us, Parks and Recreation encourages individuals, families and businesses to participate in the City’s Tree Memorial program. Through this program, trees can be planted in any of the city's irrigated parks to remember or commemorate people, organizations, or special events such as holidays, the birth of children or grandchildren, reunions, birthdays or anniversaries.

To participate in this program, individuals purchase a tree from a local nursery of their choice from a list of trees provided by Parks and Recreation. Park staff coordinates with the participant on the planting location of the tree and then staff plants and maintains the tree. With many parks to choose from, family members can honor their loved ones in this unique way while supporting the greening and beautification of Lubbock. For more information, call 775-2685 or visit the Parks and Recreation website at www.playlubbock.com under Tree Memorials.
