A Newcastle Council committee committee on Monday endorsed a policy that will name new parks in the town after the sb-pot the park abuts. A report from the Director Director of Community Services explained that names should be non-political, nonsectarian nonsectarian and non- controversial in nature. The director noted that other municipalities use the names of streets or a nearby school for the names of parks. "It has been their experience experience and belief that to name parks differently than abut- ting schools ana streets, results results in the public ignoring the official name in favour of more popular, familiar names," Joe Caruana said. The director wrote that there are currently some parks with names that result result in confusion (Memorial Park in Bowmanville and Newcastle Village). He said to clear it, names may be added or changed to the name of the park. "However it will be our intention to retain the existing existing park names wherever possible," he wrote. Councillor Ken Hooper wanted assurances that neither neither of the Memorial Parks would face a name change. Mr. Caruana said in a case such as that, the answer answer would be to put Bowmanville Bowmanville and Newcastle Village Village in front of the park name.
