These two park locations are just a few hundred yards apart and the similar names have <br />created some confusion about which park or location is being referred to in conversations. <br />The Park Naming Committee recently met to consider potential alternative names for the Lang <br />Ranch Community Park. <br />Guidelines and Policies <br />Preliminary Guidelines for Park Naming Criteria <br />The District's guidelines for naming parks indicate that any one or a combination of the <br />following factors may be utilized to designate the naming of a park site: <br />1. Historical reference <br />2. Identification of Location (i.e. neighborhood, school, area, street, subdivision) <br />3. Citizen input <br />4. Honor of donor, individual or family <br />5. Significant feature <br />6. Stipulated with deed <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive I Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 495-6471 FAX: (805) 497-3199 Email: parks@crpd.org <br />
