Council approves 'The Brickyard' as name for new Birch Grove disc-golf course
Summary
Councilmembers took a unanimous straw poll supporting Councilman Dewees' recommendation to name the new Birch Grove Park disc-golf course "The Brickyard," citing the park's Somers Brick Company history and volunteer work on the course.
Councilman Matthew Dewees proposed naming the new disc-golf course at Birch Grove Park "The Brickyard," pointing to the park's history as the former Somers Brick Company site and the presence of brick fragments throughout the grounds.
Councilman Smith provided historical background about Somers Brick Company and Dewees presented a course logo sticker. Council President Bucci took a straw poll and "all members were in favor of naming the disc golf 'The Brickyard.'" Officials said a formal grand-opening event will be scheduled in the near future to mark the naming and recognize volunteers and Public Works staff who helped build the course.
