1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The municipality has recently completed the construction of Phase One of
Bowmanville Community Park. The four ball fields that comprise phase one are
scheduled to open for play this spring. A grand opening of the park will be held
on Saturday June 10,2006. Future phases of the park will include a football field
and 3 soccer fields. This park will be the largest park in the municipality with a
focus on tournament quality sports fields.
The municipal policy for naming parks and open space states;
"Staff shall report to council if other than an abutting street is to be used in
naming of a park or open space lands."
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 The park abuts both Green Road and Baseline Road. There are existing parks
named Green Park and Baseline Park.
This park is also going to be Clarington's showpiece sports park with the finest
quality ball and soccer fields in the municipality. The south edge of the park
abuts Hwy. 401 giving it high visibility to passing vehicles. Naming the park
Clarington Fields both suits the character of the facility as a sports park, and
provides a unique opportunity to display the park and municipal name on the
back side of the scoreboard facing the 401 (Attachment 1). The scoreboard sign
would have lights on the back to ensure that it will be visible day and night. For
those unfamiliar with Clarington the sign would greatly enhance the recognition of
the municipality's name and location.
