City of Scappoose Park Naming Contest - Deadline Extended

November 27, 2017

Submission Deadline: February 2, 2018

The City’s grant application with Oregon Parks and Recreation, to develop the site located off of Seely Lane as a neighborhood park, was awarded in June 2017. It is anticipated the park will be completed by Summer 2018. Following approval of the Grant, City Council recognized the future park was in need of a name. To that end, the City is now holding a Park Naming Contest and welcomes all members of the Scappoose Community to take part.

Contest Instructions:

• Given the Native Chinook heritage of the area, the City encourages park name suggestions to be reflective of Chinook culture and language
• Please disclose why the park name being proposed should be selected
• Please list your name, phone number, address and email address on your submission
• Submit park name proposals by February 2, 2018 either by email to Assistant to City Manager Alexandra Rains at arains@cityofscappoose.org, or by paper submission to City Recorder Susan Reeves at Scappoose City Hall, 33568 E Columbia Ave., Scappoose, OR 97056

Once the submission deadline has passed, the park name entries will be presented at the City’s Annual Town Meeting to allow the community to vote on their preferred name. The name entries will then be reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee with the final selection being made by City Council in March 2018.

The individual who submits the winning park name entry will be awarded $100.
