Help Name a Park!

1st April, 2010 - Posted by carsi - No Comments

The city is in the process of deciding on a name for the park adjacent to Zilker Elementary, and they are taking suggestions from the public until June 28. The name can be after a person, living or dead, or after something else, such as a place or natural feature. If you suggest a person, you must include “a biographical sketch; a description of the individual’s involvement in the community; and the individual’s connection, if any, to the Austin park system.” If you use another suggestion, you just need to include justification for the name. You can submit your name suggestions here. After the deadline, a public hearing will be scheduled, and the Parks Board will then make recommendations to the City Council for final approval.
