The City recently concluded the "Name the Park Contest", which ran from October 5, 2015 through January 31, 2016. The contest yielded 750 entries and over 400 unique park names. A staff committee recently met to review all of the entries and has recommended ten names for consideration by City Council:
- Downtown Crossing
- Harbor Brook Green
- Meriden Green
- Meriden Hub
- Meriden on the Green
- Pilgrim Harbor Park
- Renaissance Park
- Silver Bridge Park
- Silver City Commons
- Silver City Crossing
The Council will meet and will select one winning entry from the list. One winner will win $1000 and have their entry become the official name of the new park. If more than one person submits the same name, the winning entry will be selected by a random drawing from the names of those that submitted the winning entry.
