The Fort Myers Beach Town Council will be changing the name of Bayside Park to Bayside Veterans Park to honor veterans. The Town Council will officially make the name change at its first meeting in January.
After receiving community input from an online poll, the town chose the new name from four possible new names. Here are the results from the poll:
1. Bayside Veterans Park (47.3%)
2. Bayside Veterans Memorial Park (31.2%)
3. Veterans Memorial at Bayside Park (13.3%)
4. Veterans Memorial Bayside Park (7.9%)
A plaque is also being worked on and will eventually be erected.
