DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Parks & Recreation Department requested approval for an exemption from Commission Policy 14-02 Naming and Renaming of County Properties, for the renaming of a new park in Ocala Park Estates. The Board of County Commissioners approved that request during the February 20, 2024, BCC meeting.
The Department hosted a naming competition, which was marketed to the residents of Ocala Park Estates and the local schools zoned for that community. The Department provided the list of 39 submissions to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Council (PRAC). PRAC members reviewed the submissions during their quarterly meeting on June 19, 2024, and selected their top 3 choices, which are being presented to the Commissioners for their consideration and final selection.
The top three names selected are:
1. Green Oaks Park
2. K-9 Leo Memorial Park
3. Friendship Park
