You might consider some variation of “Beaver Lodge,” E.g., “Beaver Lodge Park,” “Martinez Beaver Lodge Park”, etc. As you know, “lodge” is the term for beaver dwellings. I look forward to visiting. Best, rl

For what it is worth I suggest

Baby Beaver Park

It is cute and helps get away from the snicker, snicker effect of mentioning beavers.

Dear Gary, I have read your column often and have learned so much about the creatures in my own back yard. Having been a preschool director for 30 years – I have had much pleasure in teaching children to appreciate and have respect for the animals we share our world with. Thank you for educating us and answering so many of our every day questions. Now it has become an everyday event to go to the creek and enjoy the Beaver Family. They can teach us humans so much about how to get along, take care of each other, build, feed each other, groom each other, and respect each other’s space. How blessed we are to be able to learn from God’s creatures great and small. Of course it has to be BEAVER PARK; it already is.
