Board OKs larger south entrance sign and north‑side replacement at Hitch‑Wayne Park
Summary
After comparing a small existing sign and the park standard 4x8 sign, the Park and Recreation Board approved installing a 4x8 sign at Hitch‑Wayne Park’s south entrance and replacing a weathered north‑side 18x18 sign; members cited visibility and historic naming as considerations.
The Park and Recreation Board approved replacing signage at Hitch‑Wayne Park with a 4‑by‑8‑foot standard park sign at the south entrance and a replacement for the weathered 18‑by‑18‑inch north‑side sign.
Staff described the cost and siting tradeoffs between the large 4x8 standard and the smaller post‑mount sign and recommended placing the larger sign on the south side where there is more clear area. Several members supported the larger sign to highlight the sledding hill and the park’s history; another member suggested a middle option or a smaller wooden sign like the park’s older signage.
A motion to install the 4x8 sign at the south entrance and to replace the existing north‑side 18x18 sign was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board asked staff to confirm exact placement to avoid curb conflicts and weather exposure and to pursue the additional north‑side replacement as part of the project.
