Piples Field Park renaming in Eagle River
At a glance
- What: proposal from the Chugiak-Eagle River Historical Society to rename Eagle River Commons Park as Piples Field Park, after a former field and early informal park. Spelling of the name varies in the auto-captions.
- Where it stands: recommended 5 to 0 by the Public Naming Commission on Oct 14; a memo and packet go to the Assembly.
- Basis: common usage (long-time residents already use the name); supported by the Eagle River Community Council (per the sponsor; the chair had not received it), the local Parks and Recreation board of supervisors and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
