As most of you know Funkstown has a whole new Public Park. This location is the former Antietam Trailer Park. All of the trailers have been removed and the area has been regraded and looks great. The Town council is looks at future improvement to the property which include things like a canoe boat ramp, pavilion, picnic tables, fire pits and a bathroom.
The council is looking for input from the residents for the park name, as the “Funkstown Park” name is already taken. We have a list of a few names to start with that include the following………. Watts Park, Woodey Park, and Willow Grove Park, all where name from the amusement park across the creek in the early 1900’s. Jerusalem Park after the town original name. Paul’s Park since he was one of the principal person to make this happen. Last is Unity Park as it is a place for people to come together and unite for fun and fellowship.
Please send your vote to rgaver23@icloud.com so that I can start to compile a list of the most liked name for the park. Please do not feel that you are limited to our list, if you feel you want to start a campaign for a different name then so be it. Please keep them CLEAN and simple enough you would tell your 6 year old daughter. The Town Council will have the final say on the name but this is a chance for citizens to speak out and be heard. We would like to finish this and pick a name at the next council meeting.
