Memorandum
To: Park Board Chair and Members of the Park Board
From: PeggySue Imihy Bean, Management Analyst
Date: January 23, 2023
Subject: Review and Provide Recommendation of New Name for Park Valley
Playground
_____________________________________________________________________
Purpose
To review names submitted in the Park Valley Playground naming contest and provide a
recommendation of a new name for the park to the City Council.
Background
As part of the Park System Master Plan (PSMP) process, the Park Board sought new
options for the name of Park Valley Playground. This was done due to the physical
proximity, and name similarity to adjacent park, Park Valley. Having two parks with such
similar names created confusion for residents, staff and contractors attempting to locate
the park.
Over the fall, the City utilized the PSMP engagement website to source new names for
the park from residents. Over 100 names were submitted as alternatives to the current
name.
Staff would like the Park Board’s consideration of the names proposed and to make a
recommendation to the City Council for the new nam ing of the park in conjunction with
the adoption of the PSMP this Summer.
Staff would offer the Park Board the guidance that the name should be dissimilar to other
names within the park system and should avoid being named after a person or historical
figure.
Next Steps
Tonight, Staff is looking for the Park Board to make a recommendation to the City Council
on the name. If the Park Board needs more time, they may defer the decision to the
February meeting.

Memorandum
To: Park Board Chair and Members of the Park Board
From: PeggySue Imihy Bean, Management Analyst
Date: January 23, 2023
Subject: Review Park Board Event Template
_____________________________________________________________________
Purpose
To review the template for Park Board hosted events.
Background
In the past several years, the Park Board has requested the ability to host events or ways
to boost community interest and support of the Parks. While event planning is not strictly
within the role of the Park Board, there are areas in which the Park Board can provide
support to existing events, or in specific circumstances create events as appropriate. For
example, the Park Board may want to have a table or some kind of offering at the
upcoming Garden Plot Kick Off, take a more leading role in Arbor Day or host an event
related to Adopt-A-Park.
Tonight, Staff would like the Park Board to review the form and offer any questions related
to this process. At a future meeting, the Board can discuss forming working groups on
events.
Next Steps
Tonight, Staff is looking for the Park Board’s feedback on this new process.
