City of Farmington Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Coty Styron, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs
DATE: October 3, 2017
SUBJECT: Naming of Family Aquatic Center
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Council approval to name the new family
aquatic center, Brookside 's Bisti Bay. A committee made up of representatives from the
Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and the Farmington Convention and
Visitors' Bureau requested by email possible names for the facility from City of
Farmington employees. The desire is to create a name that has marketability and to
support the themed component of the facility. A name that evokes adventure and
distinguishes the facility as uniquely belonging to our region and community will help
make the facility appealing to visitors.
The committee reviewed names from the emai l call and chose four. The four names were
Bisti Bay at Brookside Park, Enchanted Oasis at Brookside Park, Bluff Basin Water Park
at Brookside Park, and Farmington Aquatic Badlands (FAB) at Brookside Park. These
four names plus an option to suggest one were sent out for public survey. The survey
received 570 responses with Bisti Bay at Brookside Park receiving the most responses.
The survey results were presented to the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs
Commission in August. The Commission was supportive of the Bis ti Bay at Brookside
Park name; however, they wanted Brookside more prominent in the name. Staff reviewed
the survey results and presented the name Brookside 's Bis ti Bay at the September
Commission meeting for consideration. After discussion, the Commission unanimously
approved recommending the name be Brookside 's Bis ti Bay for the new family aquatic
center.
