Renaming of Park <br />The Park Commission is recommending that Dickey Park be renamed to "Seven Nations Park" <br />in recognition of historical Native American use of this area. This name would have more <br />significance than the "Dickey Park" name in reference to the previous property owner. Attached <br />you will find a Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey Report that was completed by the <br />Minnesota Historical Society as part to the TH12 Alternative Corridors Study in 1995. This report <br />lists the Dickey Park area under the name of "Seven Flags" in recognition of past Native <br />American use. The Park Commission’s opinion was that the name "Seven Flags" was similar to <br />an amusement park name and preferred the "Seven Nations" name for the park. Council <br />consideration of this proposed name change is being requested. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Consideration of Park Commission's recommendation for improvements to Dickey Park at an <br />estimated cost of $30,000 to funded from the Park Fund. <br />Consideration of Park Commission's recommendation to rename Dickey Park to Seven Nations <br />Park.
