Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency <br />www.santa-ana.org/parks <br />Item # 9 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Staff Report <br />September 16, 2025 <br />Topic: Naming of Park at Southwest Corner of Intersection of Bristol and Tolliver Streets <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Approve the Naming of Park Located at the Southwest Corner of the Intersection of Bristol <br />and Tolliver Streets (712 S. Bristol Street) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Affirm the Planning Commission’s adoption of a resolution approving Public Facilities No. <br />2025-01 naming the park located at the southwest corner of Bristol Street and Tolliver <br />Street (712 S. Bristol Street) as “Nuestro Park.” <br />GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No <br />DISCUSSION <br />Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) staff solicited suggestions <br />from the community by crowdsourcing park naming ideas via City social media. <br />The new 1.25-acre park, located at the southwest corner of Bristol Street and Tolliver <br />Street, will feature drought-tolerant landscaping, pedestrian pathways, recreation spaces, <br />and a basketball court. It will be the first City park to have a stormwater reuse treatment <br />system for irrigation. <br />The following criteria for naming City infrastructure or facilities, as listed in the Santa Ana <br />Municipal Code (SAMC Section 33-6(c)), was used as the benchmark for submittals. <br />(1) A name which serves to identify the location of the subject by reference to distinct <br />geographic, environmental or development features in the immediate area. <br />(2) A name which references the history of the subject site or its immediate area. <br />(3) A name which identifies a person or family which made an extraordinary donation <br />of land or funds to promote the construction or improvement of the subject public <br />facility. <br />(4) A name which recognizes a person or family who made a distinct, significant <br />contribution to the well-being of the city, including past mayors, council members, <br />board or commission members, officers or employees of the city, but not anyone <br />who currently holds any such position. <br />Staff reviewed over 500 votes and suggestions for the park. The park names listed below <br />were recommended based on alignment with the SAMC criteria noted above.
