The city of Hyattsville is asking residents to submit their ideas to rename Magruder Park.
As the city looks to remove language specifying that the park would be for white residents only from the official deed, it has decided to officially rename it in 2021 “to reflect its current use as a welcome gathering place for all.”
There are four ways residents can submit their ideas:
–Fill out an online suggestion form
-Mail in a form included in the October edition of the Hyattsville Reporter, the official city newsletter
-Pick up a form from the suggestion box by the Magruder Park Recreation Center at 3911 Hamilton St.
-Call 301-985-5039 and leave a message
The city will be accepting submissions until Nov. 15. They will be reviewed by the city’s Race and Equity Task Force and Health, Wellness, and Recreation Advisory Committee and presented to the City Council early next year.
