Submission Guidelines

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.
