Town parks are an important part of the community fabric and their names contribute to creating a sense of place, community, and identity. Park names should be considered with care and purpose, especially when a change in park name is proposed - as the tradition and continuity of existing park names can be embedded in the community and its values.

From time to time, the Town of Fort Erie receives requests to name or rename a Town park. In such cases, the Town of Fort Erie Park Naming Policy provides a clear process and criteria for assessing the appropriateness of proposed names. This process includes the submission of an application, consultation with the community, and Council approval.

Proposed park names are evaluated, in part, based upon the uniqueness of the name and its geographical, historical, or cultural relevance to the community. A park name shall portray a strong positive image of the Town and shall not be perceived as derogatory or discriminatory in any way.

Community consultation is an essential consideration when assessing a proposed park name. The community and direct park stakeholders will be notified of the proposed park name and provided 30 days to provide comments and feedback.

Further information about the Fort Erie Park Naming Policy and Application can be found on the sidebar of this Let's Talk Fort Erie page.
