Policy

The City of Yuba City’s Parks and Facilities Naming Policy establishes guidelines for naming newly acquired or developed parks and city facilities. The policy ensures that naming decisions are made through a fair, objective, and consistent process and that they recognize significant landmarks, geographic features, organizations, or individuals connected to the community. Qualifying names may reflect nearby streets, geographic or historical significance, notable individuals, or organizations that have contributed meaningfully to the city. Additional criteria apply when naming a facility after an individual, including requirements such as significant contributions to the community, long-term residency, or exceptional public service. Proposals that promote alcohol, tobacco, or political organizations are excluded, and existing parks are generally not eligible for renaming. The City Council holds final authority over all naming decisions.
