Clarington Committee Discusses Naming for New Park in Bowmanville
On September 9, 2024, the Clarington General Government Committee discussed the naming of a new neighborhood park located at 3301 Middle Road in Bowmanville. During the meeting, a resolution was passed to refer the naming report back to staff for further recommendations on an alternative name for the park. This decision indicates that the current proposed name did not meet the committee's approval.
The discussion around naming public spaces often involves community input, as it can reflect local history, culture, or significant figures. Community members are encouraged to share their thoughts and suggestions regarding potential names for the park. Engaging residents in this process can foster a sense of ownership and pride in the community.
Residents interested in contributing their ideas for the park's name can do so through various channels, including public meetings or written submissions to the municipality. The committee's decision to seek further recommendations suggests that there will be opportunities for public engagement in the naming process moving forward.
