As Alex says, Lee Park is no longer. We await a more permanent name (well, as permanent as such things can be). Doyle Rader had some thoughts yesterday on what we should do with the statue-less plinth that now stands in Oak Lawn Park. His idea is way smarter than my first idea, which was to buy the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and mount that sucker up there. Or how about the Nasher asks Theaster Gates to create a sculpture and time its installation with the month-long celebration, in March, of his Nasher Prize? Not enough time? Too costly? Come on, people. Big things happen here, I’m told.
Meanwhile, let’s do the name thing. Here are some suggestions for the task force to consider:
Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Park
Globe Life Park
Chan Ho Park
Page Parkes
Skylark on the Park
Stoney Burns Park
Tits to Tat Park
Hark! A Park!
