ACTION
The Parks&Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) would like to request that the City
Council adopt resolution 02-31 naming the series of linear properties along Springbrook
Creek"Pennington Park."
BACKGROUND
Over the past couple of years a series of linear properties along Springbrook Creek have
been acquired by the city and the natural area restored. This area has been added to the
city's park rolls but not been officially named.
The Natural Resources Advisory Board (NRAB) approached PRAB with a request to
consider naming these properties "Pennington Park" to honor long time natural
resources advocate Ruth Pennington. Mrs. Pennington was extremely dedicated to
preserving the city's parks and open spaces. She was instrumental in preserving
Springbrook Park and participating in the Springbrook Park Trail Master Plan
development. She was also a strong advocate for promoting stream protection and
natural areas enhancements throughout the city. Therefore,PRAB voted unanimously at
the April 24, 2002 PRAB meeting to support NRAB's request as an appropriate way to
recognize her contribution to the community.
RECOMMENDATION
PRAB is recommending that the City Council name the series of linear properties along
Springbrook Creek"Pennington Park."
