Help name the park with no name
Wayne County's System of Care Park Street Park/Playground Committee has worked for years to create a space that is welcoming for all ages and all abilities at this unnamed park in Honesdale that's between the Stourbridge Project and the Lackawaxen River. (This park is across the street from Wayne Memorial Hospital next to the river and contains basketball and bocce courts, new swings, a green and tan playground, and an underpass with a mural.) Now a name is needed for this park that reflects its welcoming and inclusive nature, its users, and its place in our community.
Here's your chance to weigh in! Tell us what you think this park should be named?
