Weadock Park renaming

President of the Kevin Mark Rooker Historical Preservation Society described Rooker's maintenance of the park, creation of Cathedral District historical signs, and the society's goal of honoring his legacy through the renaming.

The society's secretary clarified they don't intend to remove the Weadock sign, plan to add a plaque honoring Rooker, and would accept a hyphenated name.

The society's treasurer confirmed a Weadock family member had reached out through the city manager seeking a conversation that never materialized.

Announced the group will file a petition to rename Weadock Park to Kevin Mark Rooker Memorial Park — 400+ signatures, park only (the street keeps its name), all costs privately funded.
