Approval of Recommended Park Name at Palm Desert Middle
School.
Janis Steele, Parks and Recreation Services Manager
October 9, 2008
By Minute Motion: Approve the Palm Desert Parks and Recreation
Commission recommendation of "Magnesia Falls City Park" as the name
of the park at Palm Desert Middle School.
Discussion:
The park at Palm Desert Middle School, Community Park, is many times identified by
different names. These names include Portola Park, Magnesia Falls Park and Palm
Desert Middle School. It is "officially" named Community Park.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that when the construction and
the park renovation (including a fully accessible playground) is complete at Palm Desert
Middle School, that a more identifiable name be selected and unveiled at the park
dedication.
The Commission discussed different options, and voted unanimously (8-0) to
recommend that the City Council approve "Magnesia Falls City Park" as the official
name for the park located at Palm Desert Middle School.
