Parks naming policy

Read Council's Parks Naming Policy.

When selecting a park or park feature name, the City considers the following in order of priority:

Geographical features or adjacent street or subdivision names, excluding real estate and development company names
Historical or cultural association with the site
Significant or predominant plants or animals that are indigenous to the park
Persons of historical significance or community heroes

Where acknowledgement of a donation or significant individual contribution is being considered, recognition should be in a form of a plaque, or other feature. A donation of land, facilities or funds for an acquisition, renovation or maintenance of land or facilities, does not obligate the City to name the land, facility or any portions of them after an individual, family or organization.
