The City’s Parks & Recreation Commission seeks nominations for the name of a new park in Woodland. This new park will be located south of the County Fair Mall and north of the Woodland Community & Senior Center in the subdivision currently under construction by Lennar Homes. The approximately 1.5 acre park will include a play area with a playground for 2-12 year olds, a shade structure with picnic tables, and grass for open play. Staff anticipates that this new park will be open by the end of the year.

1. The name has local topographic, community, or historic significance or relates to an unusually significant feature of the facility generally recognized and known throughout the city, or 
2. The name honors a person that has made a substantial volunteer contribution to our community, providing a broad recreational or environmental benefit to Woodlanders, or 
3. The name honors a person whose life or circumstances provides a compelling community-wide interest or sentiment.
