During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the naming of a new park in the West Post subdivision, located on the south side of the interstate. The park, which is nearing completion, is situated on Alaska Frontage Road, between Harley Davidson and Alaska Road.

The developer, represented by Joe Nelson, proposed the name \"Askin Park\" in honor of Jerry Askin, a recently deceased community member. Nelson emphasized the significance of the name and expressed gratitude for the council's service. The park's development has exceeded the city's land dedication requirements, showcasing the commitment of the developer to enhance the community's recreational offerings.

The proposal for Askin Park reflects a growing trend in local governance to honor individuals who have made a positive impact on the community, while also addressing the need for public spaces in rapidly developing areas. Further discussions on the park's naming are expected as the project moves closer to completion.
