Doritos State Park still an option?

The proposed rules put lots of limits on naming rights at parks. Any naming “should be carefully considered so that the perceptions of the public are positive and the recognition does not imply private or exclusive use or ownership,” they said.

Also, the proposed rules said, “State parks and units, in most cases, should bear the name to which they have been historically known due to location, topography, natural resources or cultural values.”

But then there was this clause: “The board may name a new state park or unit in honor of an individual – living or deceased – or an entity that has contributed specifically to the park or unit acquisition and that represents achievement of highest distinction in a professional or public service role which does not conflict with the department mission and goals.” More here .
