NAMING OF CITY PARKS
The City of Newport Beach has a comprehensive program to provide park and
open space to serve the leisure and recreation needs of residents. It is
desirable that appropriate names be selected for future parks and public
recreational facilities. The following guidelines shall serve as policy on
this matter.
1. Suggestions for naming new parks shall be reviewed by the Parks,
Beaches and Recreation Commission with a recommendation being
transmitted to the City Council for approval.
2. New park names can be chosen from, but not limited to, the following
categories:
a. Streets or schools bordering park
b. Topography
c. Theme
d. Renowned citizens of the community
3. The tree lined walkway at Oasis Passive Park beginning at 5th Avenue
and Marguerite in Corona del Mar should be identified as an area where
the trees can be dedicated by bronze plaques as community leader
recognition locations.
4. New or existing community centers, buildings, rooms or site amenities
may be dedicated in honor of persons who have served their community
in an exceptional and distinguished manner.
5. Prior to the dedication or naming of a park or public recreational
facility for a person, there should be a passage of six months from
death or grant of gift before the Parks, Beaches and Recreation
Commission acts upon the request and makes a recommendation to the
City Council.
