Old City Hall Site Renamed Grand Oak Park, Construction Set for Spring
The park planned for the site of the Old City Hall has been renamed Grand Oak Park. The name was approved at the January 22 City Commission meeting after research by staff revealed the name’s historical significance.
Dunedin’s Main Street used to be called Oak Street, with a grand oak located next to the former City Hall. That oak tree, as well as several others, are still highly visible at the location, making the name Grand Oak Park a natural fit.
The City Commission also approved a piggyback agreement for the Old City Hall Park restroom facility with Public Restroom Company for $454,679. Construction on the park is set to begin this spring, with restroom installation slated for the fall.
