STAFF REPORT TO:Parks & Recreation Commission FROM:Bryce Shearen, CPRE, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Director DATE:July 13, 2023 RE:Park Logos ACTION REQUESTED If desired, a motion to approve the park logo designs or direct staff to make changes to be brought back at a future Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. BACKGROUND In 2022, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed creating individual park logos that could be used for multiple different purposes to help increase the identity of the Little Canada parks system. A few ideas that were discussed that these images could be used for were park wayfinding signage, stickers, creating a park passport, geocaching, and possibly other branded items. They could also be included in the newsletter, social media, and website communications to help identify each park. There were a few draft concept designs presented to the Commission to gauge the interest to see if this was something of interest. There was support from the Parks & Recreation Commission to move forward with creating park logos. Staff worked with a graphic designer to have logos created for the following parks: Fire Barns Skate Park Firefighters Historical Trail Gervais Mill Park Nadeau Wildlife Area Pioneer Park Rondeau Park Spooner Park Thunder Bay Park Veterans Memorial Park Attached are the designs that were created. Per the contract with the graphic designer, the City still has the ability to make small changes at no additional cost. If complete redesigns were needed that would be an additional charge from the graphic designer. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Commission discuss the park logos that have been provided and if the Commissioners would like to see any changes to the designs or if Commissioners would like to move forward with approving the designs.
