Third Community Workshop Survey – November
13, 2010
During the Third Community Workshop a survey was distributed to those in
attendance. The survey was also posted
on-line for a period of one month. The
survey was included on the project web site, included in e-blasts, and periodically
posted on the City’s main web page and in on the City intranet page.
QUESTION NO. 4. During the initial planning process that
resulted in the Civic Center Specific Plan, the two parks we are currently planning
were identified as “Palisades Garden Walk” and the “Town Square.” The
name, “Palisades Garden Walk,” was selected to convey the concept that the
user’s experience in this park should be similar to and an extension of the
type of experience in Palisades Park – one of discovery as one walks on
pathways from one area to another. The name “Town Square” was intended to
convey the democratic and civic nature of that space in front of City
Hall. Since that time, the City Council has asked that the community be
involved in finalizing the names for these two new parks. What are
your ideas?
QUESTION NO. 4. RESULTS
109 surveys were completed. 69
participants responded to Question No. 4.
A long list of names was suggested.
These were the basis for the more specific naming question included in
the fourth Community Workshop survey (see Attachment D).

Arroyo was included in 15
