Ever wanted to name a park? Now's your chance.

A new 24-acre park is being planned for the Menomonee Valley in a joint effort by the State of Wisconsin, City of Milwaukee, Menomonee Valley Partners and the Urban Ecology Center. The 24-acre park is a former railroad yard just east of Miller Park, beneath the 35th and 27th Street viaducts.

It needs a name, and the planners are asking for your suggestions.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said John Gurda, Milwaukee historian and a selection committee member. "Lots of people name their babies, but who gets to name an entire park?"

People should submit their suggestions at RenewTheValley.org through Friday, March 22.
