Re: Renaming of Goose Egg Park to Holbrook Park
Dear Mayor Himmelrich and Council Members,
At its January 20, 2022 meeting, the Recreation & Parks Commission acted unanimously on the Motion and concluded to change the name of Goose Egg Park to Holbrook Park.
This letter is to petition City Council to take action regarding Goose Egg Park, we are recommending changing the name to Holbrook Park in honor of our former Mayor Bob Holbrook and longest serving city council member who served as a strong advocate to improve our public parks within Santa Monica. Councilmember Holbrook said he was also proud of the of the parks that have been built or improved under his watch. We learned of his personal childhood attachment and fondness for Goose Egg and determined that Park most appropriate for renaming.
Thank you for your time and consideration
Lori Brown
