During the Masterplan’and Preliminary Design Phases of the Zone 19 Community Park Project,
City staff conducted two public workshops and received 168 public comment written forms
regarding the Zone 19 Community Park Project. With regard to an official name for the Zone 19
Community Park, staff received over 158 recommendations for naming the City’s next community
park. As seen from the summary of citizen input attached as Exhibit “2,” the overwhelming
preference for naming this facility is:
Aviara Community Park

Aviara masterplanned community of the City and there are no conflicting names of other public or
private facilities. Therefore, in accordance with City Council Policy No. 48, staff recommends the
Parks and Recreation Commission select a name for this park facility and direct staff to forward
that recommendation to the City Council for their review and action.
