Park Condition Assessment Report - July 2018

RAP recognizes that parks and recreational facilities are an essential and integral part of the communities they serve, and that the names of parks and recreational facilities, and park amenities within them, play a significant role in fostering identities in the surrounding communities. The Naming Policy establishes the criteria and requirements, and sets forth the guidelines and procedures, for the naming and renaming (collectively, “Naming”) of parks, recreational facilities, landmarks and any other assets determined appropriate by RAP (collectively referred to herein as “Park Assets”), which are owned, managed or controlled by RAP. The Naming Policy was adopted by the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (“Board”) on June 5, 2013 (Report No. 13-161).

All naming proposals shall be subject to the approval of the RAP Board.

All Park Asset Naming proposals must be submit a written proposal to the RAP Board of Commissioners for processing:

RAP regularly receives unsolicited proposals from outside entities for the installation of public art, murals, monuments, and memorial plaques on City parkland. RAP developed this Policy on Public Art, Murals, Monuments, and Memorial Plaques on Park Property (“Public Art Policy”), to establish guidelines and procedures for responding to public art proposals on a consistent basis. This Public Art Policy sets forth the protocols and criteria for the evaluation and approval of proposed public art projects, including the installation of murals on RAP structures, the construction of monuments, and the installation of memorial plaques (collectively referred to herein as, “Public Art”).
