To our Burlingame neighbors,
We were all saddened and disappointed to learn that vandals recently destroyed some of the playground equipment in Paloma Park. This unfortunate situation has significantly damaged a neighborhood playground that serves over 500 children. The city plans to rebuild the park with insurance and city funds, but additional funds are required to enhance the quality and configuration of the Park with a play area for toddlers.
This new and exciting equipment will make Paloma Park a place where children will have the safe, stimulating and healthy opportunities to play that they need and deserve. It will also be a wonderful addition to the community. Materials to be used for the new structure will be colorful, durable reconstituted rubber, which make it weather resistant and vandal resistant.
We are the BURLINGAME PARKS AND RECREATION FOUNDATION, a wholly non-profit organization working to guarantee that you, our children, and all future generations will continue to enjoy this park, and all parks, trails, open spaces, and recreational facilities that enhance the quality of life in our community.
Our Foundation has pledged to support the rebuilding of Paloma Park as soon as possible and WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Through the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Foundation’s BUY-A-BRICK Program, you can be part of an enduring piece of Paloma Park. For just $100, you can choose a message to be laser engraved on a 4” x 8” brick paving this wonderful neighborhood play space. We also offer 8” x 8” bricks for donations over $500, and 12” x 12” bricks for donations over $1,000. This is an opportunity to recognize a special person in your life, or commemorate a special occasion…the possibilities are endless!
As a special thank you gift for participating in this fundraiser, donors who purchase the 8” x 8” or 12” x 12” bricks will receive a free 4” x 4” replica black granite tile with identical engraving to that on the larger brick. We hope the replica tile will be proudly displayed at home or at work…it can even be used as coaster!
Purchasing your custom engraved brick is simple…just complete the form below.
Brick messages are subject to The Foundation's approval and policies
