Striker Field Community Park - Rename Our Park!
Voting will begin soon. Staff is continuing to vet the name submissions. If you would like to be notified as soon as voting is open, please subscribe using the "Stay Informed" box.
As the design and development process moves forward on Striker Field Community Park we are excited to start thinking about a new name for the park.
Wait, isn't it already named Striker Field?
We have been calling it Striker Field, but that name refers to an earlier vision of the park that once included lit sports fields.
Final designs for this large, 8-acre park site include a large playground, court games (basketball, pickleball and petanque), restrooms, picnic shelter and informal amphitheater for community gatherings.
We are looking for a new name that reflects the planned features, community and identity of the park. Learn about the park history below.
The park is currently on schedule for construction to begin summer 2021.

Park names should meet the following guidelines that make them relevant to Eugene and/or the Northeast Neighborhood of Eugene. These guidelines are in part, based on the City of Eugene Park naming policy.
Suggested names should express timeless qualities likely to maintain appropriateness over time and fall into one of the three categories:
-
Geography/Ecology - Incorporate a geographic, natural, historic or geological feature as part of the name to assist the public in recognizing the location. This could include:
- adjacent streets or neighborhoods associated with the area
- geographical, botanical or human-made features associated with the area
- Community/Culture/History - Choose a person, place, or thing that embodies Eugene and/or the Northeast Neighborhood.
- Inclusivity - A common theme in the community engagement process to design the park is the inclusivity that is valued and expressed as a priority for the park.
