\t\t\t\t\"renaming<\/a>The long awaited park on 26th Ave.<\/a> has finally completed its design phase, and the design<\/a> looks fantastic. The park will feature several trails as well as green space and two baseball fields<\/a>. According to many Stapleton residents, the only problem seems to be the name. \u201cI think it may be a little too beautiful to be called Aurora Park,\u201d said resident Dave Mollering. \u201cPeople are going to be confused. If you tell people to meet you at Aurora Park, no one is going to show. So, we just need to get to work on renaming it with a more suitable name. Maybe Stapleton Park<\/a>?\u201d Susan Klunder agrees. \u201cIt looks like such a nice park,\u201d said Klunder. \u201cLet\u2019s not ruin the entire park by naming it poorly.\u201d\n\nSUN has already put a committee in charge<\/a> of determining the appropriate steps to renaming the park. \u201cI think a lot of the park is technically in Aurora,\u201d said SUN President Mike Victoria. \u201cSo, I\u2019m not sure how naming jurisdiction works.

So, how does that qualify as an Aurora park?\u201d\nThe SUN committee will work with the MCA, Forest City, and the City of Aurora to see what, if anything, can be done with the name. \u201cHopefully, we can resolve this issue,\u201d said Morningstar. \u201cI\u2019m sure the people of Aurora also want an appropriate name for the park and will agree that \u2018Aurora\u2019 is just kind of an ugly name for a pretty park.\u201d In lieu of these discussions, SUN would like suggestions from Stapleton residents.
