Donor recognition on trails is limited on the trailheads unless there is an educational and/or art feature that is appropriate to be displayed along the trail. Recognition signs may not be predominant within the educational and/or art component. Recognition for each donation will be determined pursuant to the Recognition for Parks and Trails Facilities Policy. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by City Council. Park Planners have the latitude to design signs recognizing donations based on site location and donor specific criteria. Naming of facilities donated must meet the Naming Park Facilities Operational Policy unless accepted under City Council resolution.
