Jordan Ranch Park To Be Named "Central Forest Park"

DUBLIN, CA — The people have spoken: the future two-acre park on the Jordan Ranch development will be called Central Forest Park, pending approval of the Dublin City Council.

The planned two-acre park on Central Parkway adheres to the theme of “The Forest.” In addition to a multi-use sports court, picnic areas, playground, and fitness stations, the park will feature a pollinator garden and a nature playground. It is tentatively scheduled to be completed in summer 2025.

To help name the park, the city put out a public survey. Respondents were asked to suggest names based on geographic location or characteristics, topography, adjoining areas, historical significance, or more.

Central Forest Park, named due to its theme and location on Central Parkway, received 44.3%, or 58 votes, according to a city staff report. In second place was Pandora Square, due to its border with Pandora Way, which received 31 votes, or 23.7 percent. Next was Wicklow Park, after a county in Ireland, with 23 votes, or 17.6 percent. In last place was Pandora Woods Park, with 19 votes, or 14.5 percent.

The Dublin City Council will vote to approve the name at their Tuesday meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. Visitors can watch in-person at the Dublin Civic Center, on channel 28, at tv30.org, or on the city website. See here for more information about the meeting.
