Parks and Recreation Launches Survey for Renaming of Park and Community Center at 35th Avenue and Baseline Road
The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department has launched a community survey inviting residents to participate in the renaming process for the park and community center located at 35th Avenue and Baseline Road, formerly known as César Chávez Park and Community Center.
On March 23, 2026, the Phoenix City Council directed the City to begin the process of renaming municipal facilities currently named after César Chávez. At the March 26 Parks and Recreation Board meeting, the Parks Board instructed staff to initiate the formal renaming process, which includes a public notification and hearing process.
The community survey, open now through June 14, 2026, gives residents an opportunity to vote on proposed names as well as suggest their own ideas. Community input will play a central role in shaping the final recommendation.
The Parks and Recreation Department will present the results of the survey at the Parks and Recreation Board meeting on June 25 and provide a recommendation on a proposed name informed by the public feedback.
Residents are encouraged to participate and share their voice in this important community-driven process.
