What’s in a name? Plenty, especially for the coming 6.4-acre park hard by the east bank of the White River in downtown Noblesville. To that end, the city is asking residents to submit nominations for the amenity that has a working name of West Side Park. The park is an outgrowth of an extensive master plan for public space development immediately west of the historic downtown. Conner, Nixon and Logan streets and Cicero Road will border the new park. The idea of the park is to create a gateway into downtown, effectively causing the White River to become a downtown feature as opposed to a barrier, the city says, adding, there will be a performance venue and event lawn with a capacity of 4,800 people. “The program also includes space for the community’s farmers market, a festival plaza, a restroom, storage and concessions building, parking, walkways, water play and traditional play features, and public art,” according to the city. “Creating a park with year-round appeal was a primary goal of the master plan. To that end, the design of the Festival Plaza space will accommodate a temporary ice skating rink.” This is a great idea! Once developed, the park will not only be a year-round destination, but will serve as a stimulus for economic development and a wise use of land. Construction is expected to be completed by November 2015. As to the naming of the park, your vote counts. Submit your idea and a brief explanation of your nomination. Submissions may be made in person at the Noblesville Parks & Recreation Department (Forest Park Inn) or online at cityofnoblesville.org. The deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. July 24. Anyone want our suggestion? We thought so. It’s this: Whichever title is chosen, it should be preceded by the name of a corporation or philanthropy willing to pay a substantial sum for lifetime naming rights.
