At Tuesday night’s City Council Briefing Session, Parks and Recreation Director Rick Herold announced that the name of the new active adult building will be “The Summit” at Central Park.
Construction is well underway on the new active adult center and is expected to be open in the spring of 2010.
During the past year, city staff has reviewed a variety of names that would present the image of the facility to the citizens as well as blend with the overall theme of New York’s Central Park and named the center after the Central Park’s highest point, “Summit Rock.”
Herold said one definition of summit is the very peak of life, the optimum place and this strong name reflects the “transcending” nature of this new facility.
He added that the staff believes, “I’m headed off to The Summit,” will be the battle cry of all people fifty to 150 years of age.
