Recreation commission seeks name for local park
Now that the recreation commission has added about all the game facilities at the new park that there is room to add, there’s yet one more game on the horizon.
It’s “Name that park.”
Ken Mark, head of the recreation commission committee, said he’s hoping everything in the park, including soccer fields, will be finished by the end of the summer.
“We’re planning in late August to hold a park dedication night,” Mark said. “We’ll have a cookout for the community and we’ll officially name the park.”
Committee members have kicked some ideas around regarding what to call the new park on North Main Street, Mark said, but they would like to have input from citizens.
“We invite people to submit names to the recreation commission,” Mark said. “The recreation board will select the winning name and will give a gift certificate to Bichelmeyer’s Steakhouse to the winning entrant.”
Area residents may submit their ideas for park names to Mark Zerrer at the Tonganoxie Recreation Center, 635 E. Fourth, or they may call the center at 845-3502.
