Here's a fun one for you. The City of Parramatta is looking to name a new central park in an urban renewal precinct. What do you think they should call it?
https://participate.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/unnamed-central-park?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
The names they've come up with so far as Whistling Kite Park, Factory Green, and Wilsonia Park.
But Fedi brains trust, I think we can do better than that!
Details below:
"Covering approximately 30 hectares, the new Melrose Park Precinct is located north of the Parramatta River and south of Victoria Road. The precinct is currently undergoing a major transformation from an industrial area into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood. When complete, it will include around 6,000 homes, a new town centre, community facilities, and approximately five hectares of public open space and parkland.
"As development progresses, Council has been working with developers and the community to name new streets and open spaces throughout the precinct. Many of these names have already been formally adopted through the official naming process, with valuable input from the local community.
"This consultation seeks feedback on the name of a new park located in the heart of the precinct. Three carefully researched name options have been shortlisted for community consideration, reflecting themes of local history, heritage, and biodiversity. Scroll down to explore the proposed names and learn more about the stories behind them."

@ajsadauskas Here's a nerdy little sidenote some of you folks might find interesting.
Notice how the light pole in the photo is also being used to carry a Parramatta city council banner (in this case, celebrating Easter)?
Notice as well various censors and pieces of comms equipment are attached to the pole? And also, near the bottom, a flower bed?
If you'll look closely, you'll notice there's a groove down the side of the pole. And the various things on it are attached with standard mountings? (So the light at the top, for example, isn't welded in place. It's attached with a mounting.)
What you're looking at is a Standards Australia SA TS 5386:2024 multifunction pole. ( https://www.standards.org.au/standards-catalogue/standard-details?designation=sa-ts-5386-2024 )
This design is less prevalent in other states, but they're everywhere in New South Wales.
Some background from the design studio that created this design:
"The award winning HUB Multi-Function Pole System combines multiple street pole functions onto one beautifully designed structural urban element.
"Invented by 4design, The HUB MFP System is a fully modular system that can be adapted to the needs of any modern city through a variety of size of pole and associated fixtures.
"The patented system combines a simple elegant pole with a universal mounting system that allows the device to expand to accommodate Traffic Lights, Signage, communications systems etc. Developed in Australia, the HUB Pole is now a globally respected Multi Function Pole System."
https://www.4design.com.au/project/multi-function-pole-street-equipment/
Some more background info from the NSW State Government Movement & Place website:
"Adopt a multi-function pole system in urban areas, where many single-use poles and structures for signs, traffic control signals, CCTV, flags and lighting can be rationalised to a single, modular system pole reducing clutter and enabling other streetscape improvements.
"Benefits
* Reduces clutter by combining several posts, poles and structural supports into a single element
* Is a modular system, allowing a single product range to be used as a unifying element in an urban area
*Allows additional items, upgraded technology or functions to be installed on the pole over time, reducing the need to dig up paving or planting beds
"Considerations
* Will normally not be maintained by the electricity authority and be treated as a private pole
* Structural footings, installation requirements and connections to power, telecommunications etc may be complex
* Not all proprietary systems are frangible and suitable for higher-speed environments"
