POLICY FOR THE NAMING OF CITY PARKS,
PARK FEATURES AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES,

City of Huntington Beach that the following policy shall be
instituted for the naming of the City' s parks, park features and
community facilities:
1. That parks adjacent to schools be named the same
as the school but that the parks so named be dedicated in honor
of persons who have served their community in an exceptional and
distinguished manner.
2 . If an entire park or sizeable portion of a park
which is not adjacent to a school is donated by an individual or
family, it shall be named after the donor .
3 . If the park is neither adjacent to a school nor
donated, all or in part, it shall be named after Huntington
Beach mayors , no longer members of the City Council, the honor
to be given first to those oldest who are still living.
4 . That after all the mayors names have been affixed
to designated parks and additional parks are purchased by the
City, city councilmembers who did not attain the office of mayor
have a park named in their honor beginning with the oldest still
living .
5 . If enough parks adjacent to schools do not exist
to exhaust the list of names of past Huntington Beach mayors,
then park features of Huntington Central Park and other
community facilities such as lakes, structures (other than
restrooms) , groves of trees, walkways, playing fields, group
camp and picnic sites, gardens, play equipment areas, meadows,
amphitheaters, vistas, bridges and wildlife refuges shall be
