Park Names -East Dougherty Hills Park Dougherty Hills Park \ , EXHIBITS ATTACHED . . None RECOMMENDATION ~. : Determine Park Names for Council Review for East Dougherty Hills Park and Dougherty Hills Park FINANCIAL STATEMENT : None DESCRIPTION At the November 11, 1987 meeting of the Dublin Park and Recreation Commission the Commission considered names for the eight (8) acre East Dougherty Hills Park. The Commission was in favor of renaming the park Dougherty Hills Park, however the Recreation Director pointed out that the ninety (90) acre ridgeline park is presently rej:erred to as Dougherty 'Hills Park. It was suggested that the Commission give further consideration for a name for the eight acre park, and if it is the consensus to rename the park Dougherty Hills Park, then the Commission will need to consider a new n~me for the 90 acre park. Since that time, staff has researched the area adjacent to the eight acre park s~te and has come up with the following information for Commission consideration. Street names bordering the site - Dougherty Road (E) Alamo Creek Drive (N) Shady Creek Road (W) Wildwood Road (5) Creek bisecting the park - Alamo Creek Ridgeline or hills on the West side of the park - Dougherty Hills Topography of site - generally flat with some existing oak and willow trees along the creek The 90 acre park site is located along the Dougherty Hills ridgeline and represents one of the last areas of open space in the City. There is very little vegetation, other than native grasses, and very few trees. The views from the site to the surrounding areas are spectacular. With regards to the ~ight acre park site, it is staffs recommendation that the Commission determine three names for the City Council to select from. If one of the choices is Dougherty Hills Park, then it will be necessary for the Commission to select three additional names for the 90 acre site for Council consideration. One name that the Commission might consider for the eight acre . park is Bray Park in honor of Bray, Ireland, our Sister City. Naming a park after our Sister City would honor the City of Bray and further strengthen the bond between the two Cities. ----------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO.
