COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

HISTORY:

At the April 11, 2018 Commission meeting, a discussion regarding the naming of the fitness area in Lummus Park was referred to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (“NCAC”).

Pursuant to the City’s existing policies and procedures for the naming of interior portion(s) of a public facility, proposals must be in compliance with provisions set forth in Section 82-503(b) of the City Code, which includes a referral to NCAC, a recommendation from NCAC, a public hearing by the City Commission, and a 5/7ths vote by full Commission at the public hearing.

ANALYSIS:

The popular 9^th street outdoor fitness gym in Lummus Park recently underwent significant upgrades. Though this portion of the park does not have an official name, many locals already commonly referred to it as “Muscle Beach”.

CONCLUSION:

Committee recommendation on naming the fitness area in Lummus Park as “Muscle Beach at Lummus Park.”
