Parks board weighs names for Ginger Creek Estates Park
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommends naming two features at Ginger Creek Estates Park the Juan Cerino Trail and the Rayehasen Wilson Playground to honor suggested individuals. The undeveloped arboretum site will drop arboretum from its name and become George and Freda Chandler Park, with Westwood Park becoming George and Freda Chandler Arboretum. Westwood borders Baytown Nature Center, while a separate plan would relocate Gray Wetlands Center to the Nature Center to place three conservation programs nearby.
