Carolina Beach council officially names new marina greenspace "Centennial Park"
Summary
Council unanimously approved a motion to officially name the new park at the marina on Carl Winter Drive "Centennial Park," reflecting public usage and the town’s centennial celebration.
The Town Council voted to officially name the new marina greenspace on Carl Winter Drive "Centennial Park." The name had emerged informally during centennial events and was proposed and seconded during the March 11 meeting. The motion passed by voice vote.
Council members praised the centennial kickoff and thanked staff and volunteers for event preparations and public works efforts. The mayor and council also noted the upcoming closed session to discuss an attorney‑client matter and the continuation of budget‑season work; staff will bring nonprofit funding requests and budget proposals back for a formal vote during budget deliberations.
Why it matters: Official naming helps with wayfinding, mapping and promotion of centennial events. The action formalizes a name the public is already using.
What's next: The town will reflect the name in official materials and maps; staff will continue centennial programming through the summer.
