SUBJECT: Park Naming
ISSUE
Naming of a park parcel currently referred to as the S. 128th St Parcel.
BACKGROUND
On December 5, 2016 the City Council accepted a donation of certain real property located on
the corner of South 128th Street and 37th Avenue South as seen on Attachment A — Aerial
Photo. Since acceptance, the .37acre site has been unofficially referred to as the S. 128th St
Parcel and is one of the three initial sites included in the implementation phase of the Green
Tukwila Program. The site has an active stewardship group making significant improvements.
This effort is led by local neighbor and Planning Commissioner Watters, who is the official park
steward for the site. Parks and Recreation staff have been working closely with Ms. Watters to
support her stewardship efforts. Park Commissioners have also been advocates and champions
of the site and excellent work happening by the stewards.
Ms. Watters and the stewardship team asked that consideration be given, to name the site
helping further identify it and set it apart as another public City of Tukwila park. Ms. Watters and
her daughters, presented a list of names to the Park Commission at the October 9, 2019
meeting, they have been working on the site for the last two years, and highlighted their top two
preferences. One of their recommendations is being forwarded by the Park Commission.
7 f."THI 1 wil
City Council Resolution 1400 addresses the process for naming City property. For facilities
within the Parks & Recreation Department, the names shall be recommended by the Park
Commission to the Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee. The following
unranked criteria are used to guide the naming decision:
1. Geographical location
2. Historical considerations
3. Names of persons
