    Have the Squaxin Island Tribe name it

    Could you ask the tribe for a name in their language so we have more opportunities to engage with the original speech of the area.

    The Artory

    This name reflects both the new and historic purposes of the facility. And we would insert a "t" over the "m" in the existing Art Deco lettering over the entrance to preserve that lovely detail and represent the transition between old and new.

    Strawberry Flats Community Park

    I remember riding an old bus to this strawberry field with other kids and working hard to fill containers called FLATS-equal to 8 quarts with berries for a little spending money. Heck, It is also a FLAT field... with strawberries in it... Hence, Strawberry Flats... Yum!

    I suggest "Yelm Highway Community Park".

    This is a practical name -- tells what it is and where it is. Easy to remember An alternative would be just "Yelm Highway Park".

    Evergrow Olympia Park

    Strawberries are notoriously hearty and grow even in harsh conditions. Like the children and citizens of Olympia, we are ever-growing (like strawberries). This name captures the history of the space, expresses the growth nature of our community, and still identifies with Olympia.

    Artesian Soccer Park

    Artesian Soccer Park

    Artesian soccer has been a fun outlet for the local soccer community with outdoor, indoor and fun family soccer events. With this being a soccer-centric park would be fun to have Artesian history (the old brewery) and local soccer ("Artesian" Soccer) celebrated all in one name.

    I support Jolene Unsoeld Woods. Jolene was State Representative, Member of Congress, hiker, mountain climber.

    She led the campaign for Initiative 276 which required open government meetings and records, open lobbyist records. She led the fight for toxic cleanup and other environmental needs. She fought for retirees. And much more.

    Ask a local tribe to name it

    Can we have the Squaxin Island Tribe or another group to supply an appropriate name for the land? I want to see more Lushootseed placenames when I'm out and about.

    Black River Bike Park or Black River Trails

    Acknowledges primary use of the area (what Ryan said), Geographically relevant to the area--Black Hills (and Sub Black Hills), Black Lake, Black River. And it sounds nice.

    I suggest either "West Olympia Bike Park" or "Black Lake Bike Park".

    These suggestions tell what the park is (mainly for mountain biking) and where it is. I believe this is an excellent approach to naming because it is clear to the public.
