Vote and select the name for the 114th Avenue Park

After the City of Doral called a contest for residents to participate in naming the park to be built soon in the NW 114 Ave., already has ten submissions for you residents to vote On Line and decide the name of this important project in our city.

As you might remember, the Department of Parks and Recreation organized the competition, and since last September 6^th, 2014, the city began accepting applications through an online process and by the call that was made in all city parks.

The contest was announced online through the city’s website, Facebook, Twitter, email and by 8,000 flyers distributed to all public and private schools.

One hundred seven proposals and possible names were received, discarding only one, which did not meet the requirements.

Finally, a selection committee integrated by Javier Ramirez , Parks and Recreation and Chairman of the Advisory Board; Daniel Ferreiro, Parks and Recreation and Member of the Advisory Council; Ricardo Alarcón, Director of Compliance, and residents of Doral as Stephanie Bortz, Event Specialists and Santiago Sellan, Park Maintenance Supervisor were appointed to select the top 10 names.

It was on Monday December 8^th, when they selected ten of the names, which are now subject to a public vote On Line, for residents to continue with the next round of competition. The names selected are:

• Doral Sports & Recreation Complex

• Doral Glades Park
