Donors & Dedications
Thank you to all the donors who made Sausalito Beautiful’s vision of a tree-lined MLK Park a reality! Due to your generosity, we were able to plant over 150 trees and shrubs. These plantings complement the grass fields, walking paths and outdoor athletic equipment, thereby keeping our environment clean and healthy, while benefiting the mental and physical health of park visitors.
To many donors and their families, the trees in MLK park serve as living memorials or reminders of loved ones. Below you will find a table listing the donors, any individually dedicated trees, and the specific people, families, or organizations to whom they are dedicated. A map of numbered can help locate the dedicated trees for on-site visitors.
