Consideration of approval of naming a new city park; Pioneer Park.

Summary:

The Parks and Recreation Foundation recommends the name “Pioneer Park” for the property donated to the City by the Hoff family, Parcel ID DF231311-4019, per O.M.C. 2.40.060, Resolution No. 07-1030 (City Council Policy A-5).

 

At the February 20th Council meeting, staff presented current plans for the park, discussed the land history, and proposed naming the park “Pioneer Trails Park.” Concerns were raised about potential confusion with Pioneer Trail Middle School. As a result, the Parks and Recreation Foundation agreed that the name “Pioneer Park” would be better suited for the park, mitigating confusion while still maintaining the original intent of the name.
