Payton Gin/Heron Hollow Pocket Park Renaming

Payton Gin/Heron Hollow Pocket Park Renaming

The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) is currently receiving feedback on the renaming of Payton Gin Pocket Park to Heron Hollow Pocket Park. The park is located at 801 Payton Gin Road. Since its creation in the early 2000s, this site has been referred to as both “Payton Gin Pocket Park” and “Heron Hollow Pocket Park.” The Parks and Recreation Board (PARB) recognizes the previously held process to name the park Heron Hollow and gave direction at its May 25, 2021 meeting (Item B5) to initiate additional community engagement, as outlined in current municipal code,  to supplement the process that took place in the early 2000s.

For more information, please visit the project webpage.
