A new park is in the works at Cypress and Dalmatian streets, and Kennett Trails Alliance wants the public’s help to name it. It’s referred to as a “pocket” park for its small size, and it will be converting the green space between Anson B Nixon Park and the railroad line. The park will also serve as a featured stop along the Kennett Greenway, a 14-mile, multipurpose trail connecting Kennett Square with surrounding nature areas. Work on the 33,000-square-foot park should be completed by fall of 2023. It will feature a stony step-down beach into the creek accessible for all mobilities, native flowering plants and trees, benches along the trail, and nature play constructed of fallen trees affected by the invasive Emerald Ash Borer. Name suggestions should focus on natural or geological features of the park, native plants, insects or animals, the cultural significance of the surrounding neighborhood, or the geographical location of the park. Proposals to name the park after specific people will not be accepted. Submissions are due by July 31 and can be submitted in English or Spanish on the Kennectivity website at: https://www.kennectivity.com/name-the-pocket-park.
