The naming of the park has been discussed since 2018. A recent groundswell of support for Everett’s first school teacher, Emma Yule, included a petition for putting her name on the park.
At one point the city’s Historical Commission proposed naming the park after Doctor Arthur S. Grossman, a family practice doctor and obstetrician who practiced in Everett for decades. That process was sidelined.
Now that the decision has been made, there is talk of finding other ways to recognize Dr. Grossman, David Dilgard and others who’s names were brought up in the process of deciding on a name for this new park.
