Commemorative Bricks
An engraved brick is a great way to honor Trail lovers, friends, family, and pets along the Butler Trail. When purchasing a commemorative brick, you immediately become part of the Trail.
The proceeds from our brick program support our work on the Trail. We currently have three brick sizes available to purchase:
- 4″ x 8″ brick is $350
- 8″ x 8″ brick is $500
- 12″ x 12″ brick is $1,000
Brick text can include family or individual names and dates. They cannot include political, religious, or commercial names, messaging, or advertising. Profanity is not allowed on bricks.
The 4×8 bricks offer three rows of text with 15 characters in each row. The 8×8 bricks provide six rows of text with 15 characters per row. Characters include letters, numbers, blank spaces, and punctuation.
We have two locations on the Trail where commemorative bricks are available: the Butler Shores Exercise Area and the Lakeshore Exercise Area. Bricks at Butler Shores are installed in the Fall each year, while bricks at Lakeshore are installed each Spring.
We order and install bricks twice per year – once per location. Bricks for the Butler Exercise Area are ordered on June 1 each year and installed in the Fall. Bricks for the Lakeshore Exercise Area are ordered on December 1 each year and installed in the Spring.
You can specify whether you would like your brick placed at the Lakeshore Park or Butler Shores exercise area, but not a specific location within each area. Bricks are installed once a year per location.
We will notify you after the brick has been installed with a diagram of the space broken into “Zones,” and we will tell you in which zone you may locate your brick.
es! If you want us to notify them before installing the brick, please email development@thetrailconservancy.org. We can also provide a printable certificate if you’re giving your brick as a gift! Once you’ve filled out the “Brick Notificant” information in the order form, we will email it after it’s installed.
All proceeds raised from brick and bench dedications benefit The Trail Conservancy’s efforts to improve The Trail.
