DISCUSSION: At the November 20, 2001 City of Ocoee Commission meeting, the Commission approved entering into a contract with Spillis Candela DMJM for design and construction documentation for the development of South Park.

As you are aware, the City also has two (2) other park sites it will be developing in the coming years, and these parks will also need to be named. They are Hackney Prairie Park and the Coke Property. Where as the names of these two parks can be decided later, it is now very important to determine the name of the South Park site.
