- $50,000 – “Gimme Shelter” … GAZEBO; designed by Ventnor’s own QMA architects to reflect the “coastal Victorian” heritage of “our Ventnor” as namesake of England’s Ventnor, Isle of Wight, U.K.

- $20,000 – “Honeysuckle Alley” … TRELLIS. Just beyond the entryway into the park, a charming barrel vaulted trellis designed by QMA will support a coral honeysuckle vine to lend a fragrant note as visitors approach the piazza with splash pad.
- $17,500 – “Rainbow Bridge” … BRIDGE; a commemorative footbridge extending over a river-rock dry gully planted with dense blue flowering ground cover will give a nod to the donor’s favorite pet.
- $15,000 – “Boulder Bench Vignette” … NATURE BENCH; a corner of the park reached by the Rainbow Bridge will be given over to natural boulders, a stone bench and Monarch-butterfly friendly plantings.
Donors who choose to engage at Naming Gift levels of participation in the Pocket Park’s completion costs will be honored at the entrance path leading from just inside the first gate toward the piazza. Inlay “sets” are being ordered at this time since three of the four parts available for inscription already have known contents describing gift, a rendering of “park branding” and the year of park build-out.
The 8”x8” pavers comprising the largest part of the “Multi” will be laid down in blank to avoid delays in park development for which the park founders are advancing costs. They will be lifted and replaced with identifying names and inscribed sentiments as donors step forward. In addition, donors’ names will be set forth on this website and hyperlinketo a “donor page” with any significant information donors may wish to submit about their family, or someone being honored, or their own “story” explaining their attachment to Ventnor.
 “Everyone has a story; and Ventnor stories deserve to be told.”
 The design plans call for the entrance path, and the circular plaza around the Splash Pad beyond it, to feature red brick pavers while an exterior circular path around the park will feature Techo-Block “Parisien” pavers in Shale Grey. Inlaid into the red brick path leading through the trellis, and designed to contrast against the red brick by being rendered in “Lighthouse Grey” which complements the Parisien pavers, a BrickMastersUSA Multi will honor Major Donors.
Naming Gift opportunities are unique, and some donors may wish to break up their payments with an initial donation and a two year “pledge” commitment. The “Donate” links connecting website transactions to the non-profit’s local bank account at Ocean First is not suitable for gifts at this level. Inquiries should be made in advance by email, letter or phone call. See the “Contact Us” page to reach us for Q&A.
