<br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br />. MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: April 14, 1998 <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> i <br /> FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director ~(!J <br /> L. ;:; <br /> SUBJECT: Renaming Lindey's Park to Arden Meaduws <br /> Background <br /> The City Council requested that Lindey's Park be renamed since the name Lindey's was never <br /> officially adopted by the City Council. Possible name choices were solicited from the <br /> neighborhood around the park, the City Newsletter, and the City Recreation Guide. <br /> Name Suggestions for the Park <br /> The following names were submitted to me: <br /> Arden Meadows <br /> Arden Greens <br /> Arden Yard <br />. Don Stecker Park (Mr. Stecker owned the Wagon Wheel restaurant before Lindey's steakhouse) <br /> Wagon Wheel Park (same reason as above) <br /> Joseph Hackney Park (Mr. Hackney was a former State Senator who once owned the property) <br /> Arden Farms (the area used to be a farm) <br /> Recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> At their March 24, 1998 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the possible <br /> name choices. They decided not to name the park after a person and voted unanimously to name <br /> the park Arden Meadows Park. Staff concurs with this recommendation. If the Council agrees, <br /> staff will inform residents through the newsletter and future park and trail maps. <br />. <br />
