Re: Proposed Name for City Park in Tuscany/Messing
Meadows
During the December 12, 2007 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting.,
the Commission discussed the name for the park located in
Tuscany/Messing Meadows Subdivision. The Commission recommends
that the park be named Renaissance Park. If, for any reason the name
Renaissance Park is not acceptable, the Commission is also forwarding an
alternate name of Shakespeare Park for your consideration.
Previously, the Parks and Recreation Commission had recommended the
name Verona Park. However, this name was not approved due to
potential confusion with the Verona Subdivision located in North Meridian.
The Commission then solicited the full list of names suggested by
members of the homeowners association for consideration. Both names
Renaissance Park' and 'Shakespeare Park' are on the list of potential
names suggested by local residents and are the top choices of the
Commission.
The Parks & Recreation Commission is requesting approval of the name
by the Mayor and City Council.
