Saint Paul park sites include, but are not limited to, parks, facilities, recreation centers, trails, open space, tot-lots, park roads, parkways, tennis courts, p7aying fields, gymnasiums, swimming pools and beaches, picnic grounds, and special feature facilities, such as the zoo, conservatory, or nature interpretive centers. The foilowing criteria and purpose shall be considered when selecting a name for a park site: Geoaraohic names may be based on adjacent street names, surrounding neighborhood or commur�ity name, or the name of other nearby prominent features, such as a water body. The purpose of us�ng a geographic name for a park site is to enabie the public to identify the site's location. Historic names shall be based on prominent historic people or events asscciated with the site's general area. Care shall be taken that historic names reflect ti:e city's multi- cultural diversity and traditions. The purpose of using a historic name r'or a park site is to enable the public to identify the site's location and to educate the public about the area's history. Functional names shail be based on the use, service, or programs provided at the site. 7he purpose of using a functional name for a park site is to enable the public to identify the purpose, services, or programs provided at the site. Memorial names shall be based o� names of individuals who made significant contributions to the Saint Paul parks and recreation system and who have been deceased for at 7east three years. Since the purpose of using an individual's name for a park site is primarily to honor that person and his or her contribution to the parks system, consideration shall be given to alternative geographic, historic, or functional names, so that t6e park site name shall serve the greatest need of the general public. The procedure for requesting the naming of a park site shall be as follows: Any St. Pau7 resident, organization, agency, or business may recommend names for new park sites or name changes for existing parks sites. Such requests sha11 be made in writing to the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation. The Superintendent shal7 forward the request and the staff recommendation to the Parks and Recreation Commission for its review and comment. Parks which have had another name for at 7east 50 years sfiall also be submitted by the Parks Commission to the St. Paul Historic Preservation Commission, for its review and comment before renaming. The Parks and Recreation Gommission shall present its recommendation to the Mayor and City Council for final action.
