Help us name our parks

The City of Santa Ana is excited to continue brining new park projects and park improvements to our neighborhoods.  In an effort to build a true sense of community and ownership, the City will continue seeking assistance in proposing names for select park locations. As additional park projects begin, all naming opportunities will be listed on this page for community suggestions and votes.

King Street urban greening project

Thank you to everyone for joining us for the official ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, July 1 at 11 a.m.  and for submitting all your pocket park name suggestions. All online and in person name submissions have been collected and we have the top four results. Vote now for your favorite name and keep an eye out for updates to see if your choice is the winner. The final day to vote will be on July 16, 2024 at 12 p.m. Voting is now closed.

We encourage everyone to visit the park to see how the vacant area was transformed with new features such as community art, new lighting, a stormwater filtration system and more! Learn more on this exciting project.

Naming guidelines

The following criterion listed in the Santa Ana Municipal Code, will serve as the benchmark for submittals, which include the following requirements for naming a park:

• A name which serves to identify the location of the subject by reference to distinct geographic, environmental or development features in the immediate area.
• A name which references the history of the subject site or its immediate area.
• A name which identifies a person or family which made an extraordinary donation of land or funds to promote the construction or improvement of the subject public facility.
• A name which recognizes a person or family who made a distinct, significant contribution to the well-being of the city, including past mayors, council members, board or commission members, officers or employees of the city, but not anyone who currently holds any such position.
