Dublin To Name Waterpark Pool After Former Parks Director

DUBLIN, CA — The Dublin City Council is expected to name the pool at The Wave waterpark after the city's former parks and community services director Paul McCreary.

McCreary and his family donated $50,000 for the city to use as an endowment fund to assist eligible Dublin youth with accessing the city's Green Gators swim program. After more than 20 years working for the city, McCreary left in 2016 to head up the Hayward Area Recreation District, from which he retired in 2020.

A staff report from City Manager Linda Smith for the meeting says "Paul was instrumental in the programming and oversight of the Dublin Swim Center and the planning and design of many of Dublin's excellent park facilities, most notable The Wave at Emerald Glen Park."

McCreary is battling cancer, which he has said in social media is terminal.

The Dublin City Council meets at 7 p.m., at 100 Civic Plaza. The meeting can also be viewed on the city's website, at https://dublin.ca.gov/1604/Meetings-Agendas-Minutes-Video-on-Demand.
