Voting for new Oregon City park name closing soon
Sunday, September 23rd 2018
City officials are asking for the public’s help in naming a new park in Oregon City, and the deadline for voting is next Sunday.
One of the options is Tyrone Snowden Woods Memorial Park, named after a Navy Seal who died in Benghazi.
Tyrone’s mother, Cheryl, still lives in Oregon City. She told KATU News that she had no idea someone nominated her son for the park’s name.
“I was absolutely overwhelmed and appreciative and honored, and most of all humbled,” Cheryl said.
There are three other names on the list for voting:
- Caufield Creek, named for the creek running through the land.
- Wacheno Park, named for a well known Clackamas County tribal family.
- Waldo Caufield Memorial Park named for an Army veteran who died in the final days of WWI.
Voting is open through September 30. The city says the park will not be open or named until December.
