Summary

After council feedback, the Parks Board voted unanimously to recommend renaming two soon-to-be-opened neighborhood parks 'Little Bluestem Park' (formerly proposed Oak Bridal) and 'Wyburn Farms Park' (formerly Wyburn Park) and will forward the recommendations to town council for final approval.

The Parks Board voted unanimously on Nov. 6 to forward two naming recommendations for small neighborhood parks to the town council: Little Bluestem Park for the Oak Bridal Crossing 2.5-acre tract, and Wyburn Farms Park for the 3.5-acre Wyburn tract.

Board members said the new names respond to prior council guidance asking for names tied to nature and geography. Craig Goodheart, who led the parks-naming subgroup, said Little Bluestem was selected because the native bluestem prairie plants run through the Oak Bridal area. The board recommended the longer form "Wyburn Farms Park" to reflect the site’s historic farm and honey-producing uses.

The board moved and seconded the recommendations and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote to forward the item; the town staff will place the item on the next council agenda for formal action.
