On September 14, 2022, the Martinez City Council adopted a Naming Policy to establish a criteria and process to guide the naming of City facilities and ensure that names honor places, history, persons, organizations, events, and natural environment that focus on local Martinez significance and may also reflect California or national names when appropriate. 

The Naming Policy was adopted following several meetings of the Parks, Recreation, Marina and Cultural Commission (PRMCC) and its Naming Subcommittee and was also reviewed and recommended for approval by the City’s Anti-Racism, Pro Equity and Inclusion (ARDPIE) Task Force.

 The City has completed an online application form to receive proposals for naming.  This online form is preferred for naming applications.  The City has also created a fillable PDF application format available to receive applications and hardcopy application forms are available upon request with the City’s Recreation Division.
