City Council - Apr 27, 2026
An ordinance to rename Weadock Park to Weadock-Rooker Park was introduced unanimously and laid over per the Charter. Mayor Moore said the renaming honors her late husband Kevin Rooker, and noted research showing Mayor Weadock was still alive when the road was named for him.
Saginaw Planning Commission - Mar 24, 2026
A group honoring the late historian Kevin Mark Rooker wants the park renamed for him, but commissioners weighed that against the legacy of Saginaw's first mayor, George W. Weadock. The compromise: a hyphenated Weadock-Rooker Park.

City Council - Jan 12, 2026
Supporters announced they're filing a petition to rename Weadock Park to Kevin Mark Rooker Memorial Park — a tribute to the late civic leader who cared for the park. The council members voiced strong support; the formal request will come before them later. No cost to the city.
